An Olean, New York, man is headed to state prison for his role in an attempted knife attack.

President Judge Maureen Skerda handed down the sentence on Friday.

According to the affidavit of probable cause, Jason A. Hogle, 38, said to the alleged victim, who was driving a female victim home from work, that he was waiting with a “big boy blade” and was “going to kill him.”

The alleged victims told police Hogle was waiting for them when they arrived at a Terrace Street residence.

“The defendant approached the vehicle, passenger side first, and produced a knife,” police said. “The passenger side window was down and the defendant reached inside the vehicle and attempted to stab (the victim) with the knife,.”

According to the affidavit, Hogle was reaching over the woman and she told police he almost hit her multiple times.

“The defendant then moved to the driver side of the vehicle where the window was also down and attempted to stab (the victim) from that position,” according to police.

Police said the victim told them the knife was so close he could hear it moving through the air near his face.

Police described the weapon, which was found later, as a “12-inch wooden and brass handled knife.”

“Thankfully (he) never made contact,” Assistant District Attorney Casey Strickland said during sentencing.

“(I’m) sorry for what I did,” Hogle said, noting he is “owning up to my actions.”

He initially said he was “owning up to something I didn’t really do” so his case was moved to the end of court.

“You were charged and you pled to these crimes,” Skerda said. She also noted that he was to be sentenced on contraband charges and threw contraband at an officer.

“(You) haven’t done much to address that,” she said, noting that his risk to reoffend is “one of the highest I’ve seen.”

She sentenced Hogle to 33 to 66 months incarceration with credit for 354 days time served, $2,525 in fines and fees, a no contact/no trespass order and credit for 354 days time served as well as five to 10 months and $995 in restitution to the City of Warren for a damaged camera on a count of resisting arrest.

The contraband charge brought another 30 to 60 months in state prison with an additional $1,525 in fines and fees.
