YOUNGSTOWN — Charles Bulatko, 28, received a two-year prison sentence Wednesday after pleading guilty in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court to a reduced charge of attempted felonious assault.

Bulatko was indicted in February on felonious assault with a repeat violent offender specification for a Dec. 1 fight on the patio outside of the Vista Lounge on McDonald Avenue on the West Side.

The fight, which did not involve any weapons, left the victim, 42, with broken bones in his face and jaw and missing teeth.

Michael Rich, an assistant county prosecutor, told Judge R. Scott Krichbaum on Wednesday that the victim decided not to cooperate with prosecution of the case.

Prosecutors issued a subpoena for the victim to appear in court Wednesday, but the victim called the prosecutor’s office and said he was not coming.

The victim said he “wanted nothing to do with the case,” Rich said.

Bulatko could have gotten eight years in prison on the felonious assault, but prosecutors agreed to reduce the charge to a lower-level felony without a repeat violent offender specification and recommend a two-year prison sentence.

Bulatko must serve the two years in addition to the nine months he received earlier this year as a result of the felonious assault charge, being a violation of his probation on an earlier conviction.

Bulatko was sentenced via video from the Lorain Correctional Institution.
