Here are the top 3 stories today in Buffalo: A Cheektowaga man was found guilty Tuesday on charges of endangering the welfare of a person with autism. 37-year-old Derrick Warburton allegedly hit and kicked the victim while working as a behavior support technician at a residential facility in 2019. Warburton faces up to four years in prison and is scheduled to be sentenced on Apr. 14. (WGRZ.com)A Buffalo author is donating copies of his book to inmates at the Erie County Holding Center. Author Duncan Kirkwood says he hopes his book, "Rerouting: Resilience Tools and Tactics," will be a story that can resonate with the inmates behind bars. The donation of 100 copies of the book was funded by community contributions and Buffalo Common Councilmember Rasheed Wyatt. (Spectrum News)A couple from North Buffalo built an igloo in their backyard last week. The icy structure is sixteen feet across and eight feet high, and it even features built-in windows. The couple, Theresa Rojek and Jeff Brown, say they have built a campfire inside.
