Sgt. Thomas Sanfratello, 54, a 32-year member of the Genesee County Sheriff's Office killed in action last week, laid to rest today.

Our Adriana Loh is at Genesee Community College where the services took place.

Sgt. Sanfratello was posted to a special assignment detail at Batavia Downs when he died during an incident with a patron, according to authorities. Batavia police say the 32-year veteran of the force was escorting two people out of the casino early Sunday morning after a verbal confrontation when they allegedly became combative.

Sanfratello was arresting one of the individuals after a struggle when investigators say he was then attacked by the second patron. During the incident, they say the sergeant became unresponsive and was pronounced dead.
