Seven appear in county court
NORWICH – Seven individuals charged with a variety of felony and misdemeanor charges appeared in county court Friday and Monday, two admitting to violations of probation, while the other five pleaded guilty and were subsequently sentenced, one to three years in state prison.
• Nathaniel R. Cosby, 38, Syracuse, was sentenced to three years in state prison with two years post release supervision, a sentence that will run concurrent with a separate, Cayuga County sentence he is currently serving.
Cosby was indicted by a Chenango County grand jury in March, charged with two counts of third degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class B felony, criminal tampering with evidence, an E felony, and seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, an A misdemeanor. It was alleged that Cosby – in concert with another individual – knowingly and unlawfully possessed four individually wrapped baggies of cocaine with an aggregate weight of 17.55 grams, as well as 224 glassine envelopes of the narcotic heroin, with the intent to sell. The charges stem from a Dec. 20, 2011 incident that occurred at a Norwich hotel when Cosby, in an attempt to destroy the drugs, tried to flush them down the toilet.
• Christopher J. West, 30, Bainbridge, was sentenced to five years probation and must successfully complete the county’s Treatment Court program after pleading guilty to one count of driving while ability impaired by drugs, a class D felony.
It’s alleged that West, in February of 2012, operated a motor vehicle on county Road 39 in the Town of Bainbridge, failing a field sobriety test and admitting he had taken prescription drugs. According to his grand jury indictment, West’s 9-year-old son was in the vehicle at the time of his arrest. He has two prior driving while intoxicated convictions, dating from Feb. 24, 2004 and June 22, 2007 in Broome County Court.
• Christine A. Furgison, 35, North Norwich, admitted to violating the terms and/or conditions of her probation and was sentenced to six months at the Chenango County Correctional Facility.
