Four plead guilty, two not guilty in county court

NORWICH – Six individuals charged with various misdemeanor and felony crimes appeared in county court Friday and Monday, four pleading guilty and two not guilty, with several defendants released pending sentencing.
• Cory L. Reynolds, 25, Bainbridge, pleaded guilty to one count of third degree criminal sale of a firearm, a class D felony, and will be sentenced to one year at the Chenango County Correctional Facility at a later date.
It’s alleged that Reynolds, in February of 2012, in the Town of Bainbridge, did criminally sell a firearm – a Phoenix Arms Model HP22 .22 pistol – that he did not have a permit for.
Reynolds was released under the condition that he neither possess nor consume any alcoholic beverages, controlled substances or marijuana, and must report as ordered to the county’s Treatment Court coordinator for regular testing. If he were to violate the terms of his release, he could face up to seven years in state prison. He will re-appear in court at a later date.
• Matthew C. Goodwin, 29, Afton, pleaded not guilty to charges of operation of a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content of .08 of one percent or higher and driving while intoxicated, both class E felonies.
Indicted by a Chenango County grand jury in September, it’s alleged that Goodwin, on or about Aug. 11, 2012, did operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content of .14 of one percent, nearly twice the legal limit. He has one prior driving while intoxicated conviction dating from Dec. 17, 2007, in the Village of Bainbridge Court.
Goodwin was released under the condition that he neither possess nor consume any alcoholic beverages, controlled substances or marijuana, and must report as ordered to the county’s Treatment Court coordinator for regular testing. Judge W. Howard Sullivan reminded the Goodwin that he is charged with a felony crime and any violation of the terms of his release could result in state prison time. He will re-appear in court at a later date.
• Joseph N. Meade, 23, Hamilton, entered a plea of guilty to petit larceny after successfully completing one year of interim probation on a charge of third degree burglary, a class D felony.
Meade was originally charged with the felony crime – now vacated – in April of 2011, accused of breaking into the Earlville Little M store and stealing approximately $3,000 in cigarettes, $200 in beer, $1,400 in cash and various other items.
Chenango County District Attorney Joseph McBride said Meade had done well while on interim probation, while Judge Sullivan said he was pleased with the outcome, stating, “I’m proud of you.”
Meade, offered an opportunity to speak, said he wished to apologize to the Earlville community and his family for his actions, as well as the owner of the Little M store. He was sentenced to three years probation with credit for one year served and must continue to pay restitution, which currently stands at $4,392.60.
• Timothy P. McCarthy, 32, South New Berlin, pleaded not guilty to charges of grand larceny and scheme to defraud.
It’s alleged that McCarthy did write a series of bad checks in the New Berlin area over the course of several months, which ultimately led to the charge of scheme to defraud, according to the district attorney, who added the defendant has an “extensive rap sheet.”
McCarthy was released under the condition that he neither possess nor consume any alcoholic beverages, controlled substances or marijuana, and must report as ordered to the county’s Treatment Court coordinator for regular testing. He will re-appear in court at a later date.
• Kimberly A. Bishop, 35, Oxford, pleaded guilty to one count of third degree welfare fraud – a class D felony – and will be sentenced at a later date to two to four years in state prison, to be served as parole supervision at the Willard Treatment Center.
It’s alleged that Bishop, who was indicted by a Chenango County grand jury in June, failed to notify the county’s Social Services Department of additional income she was receiving, approximately $7,400 between the months of May, 2010 and March, 2011.
Bishop was released under the condition that she neither possess nor consume any alcoholic beverages, controlled substances or marijuana, and must report as ordered to the county’s Treatment Court coordinator for regular testing. If she were to violate the terms of her release, she could face state prison time. She will re-appear in court at a later date.
• Charles D. Fuller, 51, Cooperstown, pleaded guilty to one count of failure to report a change of address as a registered sex offender within ten days of moving. He will re-appear in court at a later date for the purposes of sentencing.
