Four sentenced, one pleads not guilty in county court
NORWICH – Five people charged with a variety of misdemeanor and felony crimes appeared in county court Monday, four of whom were sentenced while a fifth pleaded not guilty to one count of felony driving while intoxicated.
• James C. Laird, 24, Edmeston, was sentenced to one to three years in state prison and must pay $880 in restitution after pleading guilty to third degree burglary, a class D felony.
Chenango County Court Judge W. Howard Sullivan warned Laird that, as a “young man” with a “fairly significant record,” it’s up to him to make the necessary changes in his life if he wants to avoid future incarceration. Laird is currently facing additional charges out of Otsego County and any sentence handed down in relation to those charges will run concurrent to the one to three year state prison sentence.
• Brandon M. Peckham, 20, Ithaca, was sentenced to one year of interim probation and three years probation – to run concurrently – and must pay approximately $1,200 in restitution after pleading guilty to second degree attempted assault and driving while intoxicated, a class A misdemeanor.
Peckham was indicted by a Chenango County grand jury in January on charges of second degree assault, a class D felony; third degree criminal mischief, a class E felony; and driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest, both class A misdemeanors. According to his indictment, Peckham, in November of 2011, acted with intent to prevent a police officer in the course of performing a lawful duty and caused physical injury to said officer. In addition, it was alleged that Peckham intentionally kicked out a window of a Norwich PD vehicle, resulting in damages of approximately $1,200. Peckham could face up to four years in state prison if he were to violate the terms or conditions of his probation.
• Jessica L. Seiler, 36, Norwich, pleaded not guilty to one count of aggravated driving while intoxicated with a child in car, a class E felony.
It’s alleged that Seiler, on or about July 5 in the City of Norwich, operated a motor vehicle in an intoxicated state with two children present in the vehicle at the time of her arrest. She will re-appear in Chenango County Court at a later date.
• John S. Beebe, 49, Oxford, pleaded guilty to fourth degree criminal possession of marijuana, a class A misdemeanor, and was sentenced to three years probation.
• Joshua A. Paine, 21, Guilford, was sentenced to five years probation and must pay restitution in the amount of $9,250 and $750 to a pair of victims.
Paine was indicted by a Chenango County grand jury in January, charged with two counts of second degree burglary, a class C felony; and one count of third degree burglary, a class D felony. According to his indictment, Paine, on three separate occasions in October, November and December of 2011, knowingly entered and unlawfully remained with the intent to commit a crime at a pair of Guilford residences located on County Road 35. It was alleged that Paine committed the crime of larceny, stealing a 1939 Cherry Valley School class ring, cash and several antique items. Paine could face up to 14 years in state prison if he were to violate the terms or conditions of his probation.
