NORWICH After being indicted last week on four felony charges accusing him of shooting two men, Lee M. Bush appeared in Chenango County Court at the request of the District Attorney’s Office Tuesday.

Assistant District Attorney Stephen Dunshee sought to have Bush thrown back in jail because less than 24 hours after his release Sept. 16, he was charged with possession of marijuana.

Bush was released without bail after initially being held on $10,000. According to police, Bush shot two men in his driveway with a 12-gauge shotgun, hitting them with birdshot at about 9:54 p.m., Sept. 5. The men were allegedly fleeing Bush’s Court Street residence in the City of Norwich following an “alcohol and drug-fueled argument,” said Norwich Police Chief Joseph Angelino.

Bush, 49, was indicted by the Chenango County Grand Jury last Wednesday for four felonies – first degree reckless endangerment, two counts of second degree assault and third degree criminal possession of a weapon.

Bush was convicted of fourth degree criminal mischief in June 2004 and a provision of his sentence was a restriction not allowing him to possess firearms. Police seized two shotguns from his residence Sept. 6, including the one allegedly fired at the two victims the night before.

Bush and his defense Attorney Aaron A. Dean appeared before Supreme Court Justice Kevin M. Dowd Tuesday, the same judge who had released him without bail earlier in the month.
