Jail not working for Norwich man, judge says
NORWICH – A county judge decided that jail wasn’t working on a Norwich man who stepped before him with considerable trips behind bars under his belt.
County Judge W. Howard Sullivan sentenced Timothy G. Prosser, 40, of 52 Mitchell Street in Norwich to 5 years probation and the mandate of having to complete Chenango County Drug Treatment Court for what a prosecutor said was the man’s seventh alcohol-related arrest. Prosser has been auditioning for the treatment program, and after referencing the defendant’s six prior trips behind bars, Sullivan said the new alternative route may be what turns behaviors around.
“None of these (trips to jail) have made a difference in Mr. Prosser’s behavior. Drug treatment court has,” he said. “Hopefully this is going to be a lifetime change for Mr. Prosser.”
The Norwich man pleaded guilty to aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle in the first degree, a felony, and misdemeanor DWI. On Sept. 17, Prosser was driving on a Town of New Berlin highway in an intoxicated condition. When he was caught, it was discovered that his license had already been revoked or suspended due to another alcohol-related crime.
Public Defender Alan E. Gordon drew reference to his client’s history having him in the front row of the treatment program. “He is going to be somewhat under a microscope in treatment court, but he has done very well.”
