Oxford teen to appear in county court to face felony charges for desecration and burglary
NORWICH –The oldest suspect in a group of teenagers arrested for desecrating an Oxford cemetery and breaking into the village’s library will appear in county court to face felony charges.
First Assistant District Attorney Stephen M. Dunshee said Devan Ellsworth, 18, of Greene Street, Oxford, had consented to waive his right to a grand jury and head straight to Chenango County court to face the charges against him.
Dunshee said his office received notice from Ellsworth’s assigned attorney, Linden D. Summers giving consent to be prosecuted based on his superior court information.
Dunshee said Ellsworth will face felony cemetery desecration and burglary in addition to two misdemeanors of criminal mischief and conspiracy.
