Via MattarMedia - The 19-year-old who hit several people with his car outside a Buffalo Bills game in October was sentenced to nine years in prison.
A state Supreme Court judge rejected Brandon McLean's request to go to a substance abuse treatment program in Buffalo.
McLean was charged for a series of hit-and-runs October 11 after he sped out of a parking lot at Ralph Wilson Stadium, where the Bills had just lost to the Cleveland Browns.
McLean injured three pedestrians and four law enforcement officers. He ended up crashing into a telephone pole near the stadium.
McLean pleaded guilty in December to charges that included aggravated vehicular assault, reckless endangerment and driving while ability impaired.

6 injured, vehicles struck by erratic driver, police say
Via MattarMedia - A 27-year-old man is facing a slew of traffic tickets and felony charges after he allegedly drove his car into pedestrians, a bicyclist and a vehicle on South Plymouth Avenue Thursday afternoon before leading police on a chase through residential and commercial streets.
Just after 2 p.m., Officer Jeffrey Schroeder was flagged down by people in front of a Sunoco gas station and mini-mart at 700 S. Plymouth Ave. He then witnessed a silver Nissan Maxima driving erratically.
While doing doughnuts in the lot, the vehicle struck a bicyclist, another vehicle and about three pedestrians in the parking lot area of the gas station.
Schroeder attempted to pull over the Maxima but the vehicle rammed into the police car a few times before pulling onto South Plymouth Avenue and leading police on a chase.
Police said the Maxima struck another vehicle at Jefferson Avenue and West Main Street and then struck another police vehicle at Jefferson Avenue and Clifton Street.
There was minor damage to both police vehicles, and no police officers were injured during the pursuit.
The pursuit ended about 2:15 p.m. near the intersection of Brooks Avenue and Genesee Street after the vehicle being chased struck a minivan. Speeds during the chase were over 30 mph but not much faster, Executive Deputy Chief George Market said. During the pursuit, police had lights and sirens on.
The driver of the Maxima, Munir Muthana, 27, of Rochester was taken into custody at the scene and then taken to Strong Memorial Hospital to be treated for some minor injuries, police said. Markert said several alcohol containers were found inside the Maxima, which might have been a contributing factor to his erratic driving.
Muthana is facing multiple charges ranging from vehicular assault and assault to several vehicle and traffic violations. Six civilians were taken to Strong Memorial Hospital to be treated for injuries that were considered to be minor.
Police believe all victims were random bystanders and not targets or acquaintances of the man driving the vehicle.

Car slams into crowd of people
via MattarMedia BUFFALO, NY (WIVB) - A car drove right into a crowd of people in Buffalo Saturday afternoon, injuring a young girl. Nearly 25 people including many children were getting ready for a neighborhood carnival on Genesee and Goodyear. All of a sudden, a man's car veered out of control, hitting everything in his path.
Sanora Moore pointed out the skid marks left behind by the driver. Moore said, "He came through the barricade. He came down the street. You can see the skid tire marks on the street."
The driver crashed through tables of food and hit two people, including Sanora Moore and Melissa Gravely's three-year-old niece. At one point, the two women tell News 4 he was driving on the sidewalk! Gravely said, "He stopped down there and then I was waving my hands like this to tell him not to come down."
But for some reason, the man just kept on driving and before she knew it, he was heading in their direction. Gravely said, "We were standing right here and then he stopped on the sidewalk and then he took off, then I jumped over there."
Gravely was hanging balloons with her niece for the neighborhood carnival.
Gravely said, "It was just a loud bang. And before I knew it, he just skid up and he actually knocked me and my niece but once I grabbed her, I tried to grab her and I flipped over there on the grass and before I knew it she was rolling up under the car." The white car eventually stopped after slamming into a utility pole, leaving nearly 25 people who were standing outside in disbelief.
Moore said, "I'm shaken up, I'm angry. He hit my niece she's now in Children's. Hopefully, she's okay." It turns out her three-year-old niece is okay. She suffered minor injuries. We don't have an update yet for the other victim. Police said the driver suffered a medical condition.
