An assistant county prosecutor has accused Cayuga County District Attorney Jon Budelmann of initiating “unwanted physical contact” earlier this month after he informed the DA that he was being activated by the military.
The Citizen reached out to ADA Joshua Bennett for comment following last week’s debate between district attorney candidates, when Democratic challenger Thomas Turturo alleged that three-term incumbent Jon Budelmann fired Bennett for being activated by the military and got into a “physical altercation” with him in his office.
Budelmann responded during the debate that Bennett had been activated by the military and wasn’t fired, and he also denied that there was a physical altercation in the office.
