Felony charges dismissed in Black case
NORWICH – Friday in City of Norwich Court, felony charges against a man arrested following a drug bust and murder plot investigation were dismissed.
Chester Black Jr., 19, Elmira, had been charged with third degree criminal mischief for allegedly prying a pebble-sized chip of concrete from a cell block at the Norwich Police Station and scratching the letters “B-L-A” in a metal cell door.
“As far as showing this court that there was reasonable cause to the felony charge of third degree criminal mischief, this court is not satisfied and dismisses the felony charge without prejudice,” said Acting City Court Judge Maureen Byrne.
Black was arrested in a local drug investigation this week along with Mathew C. Smith, 27, of the Elmira and Norwich area, and Robert W. Gallo Jr., 25, of 22 Sheldon St., Norwich, who were charged with second degree conspiracy, allegedly planning to kill two Norwich City Police officers.
More details will follow in Monday's Evening Sun.
