Three plead guilty in county court
NORWICH – Three pleaded guilty in Chenango County Court on Monday while one person plead not guilty, and another reappeared in court to receive a lesser charge.
• Carrie Canfield, 28, Afton, pleaded guilty to attempted robbery in the second degree, a class D felony, which will result in five years probation and restitution payments in the amount of $1,874. Canfield initially plead not guilty to two counts of second degree robbery, class C felonies, at an indictment hearing in July.
Chenango County District Attorney Joseph McBride alleged that Canfield served as the driver in a robbery of an individual who had been seriously injured during the commission of a crime in the Town of Afton. Canfield acknowledged that she had been the driver for two other people during the occurrence, knowing they intented to steal and harm the victim and thus, making her an accessory to the crime.
As part of the guilty plea, McBride also requested that Canfield testify against the two other alleged assailants if she is called to the stand in any future court proceedings. It was also agreed that Canfield continue receiving drug treatment from the Chenango County Drug and Alcohol center and enroll in the county’s Drug Court Program for her heroin addiction. Defense Attorney Scott Clippinger said he believes Canfield is, so far, “taking the right steps” to getting her life back on track.
• Mark J. Williams, 49, Endicott, pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary in the third degree, a class D felony - a plea he reversed less than an hour after he originally pleaded not guilty.
It was alleged that on, or about Sept. 12 in the Town of Afton, Williams entered and unlawfully remained inside another person’s property with the intent to commit a crime, resulting in the theft of a wallet and an iPod. He now faces up to seven years in a State Correctional Facility.
Williams had also pleaded not guilty to these charges last December and was remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility on $10,000 cash bail. When Williams asked if time already served in the Chenango County Correctional Facility will credit time to be served in state prison, County Judge Frank Revoir said he was uncertain.
• Carolan Henninge, 24, Norwich, pleaded guilty to a violation of probation as well as a separate charge of driving while intoxicated, a class D felony, ultimately leading to a total two consecutive years to be served at the Chenango County Correctional Facility.
Henninge was indicted by the grand jury after she was charged of driving while intoxicated following a traffic stop in February. In August, 2011, Henninge was issued probation after being convicted of aggravated driving while intoxicated in the town of Smithville earlier that year. The recent violation of her probation warrants one year spent in the county correctional facility, to be immediately followed by a another year for a new DWI charge.
Henninge will also be required to install an ignition interlock device on her vehicle when her license suspension is lifted.
“She obviously has a severe alcohol problem,” said McBride, noting the number of DWI convictions Henninge has received in recent years. “If she drives again drunk, she will be going to state prison for a long time.”
• Timothy Norris, 32, McDonough, was also recently indicted by a grand jury, and pleaded not guilty to, driving while intoxicated and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, both class E felonies. Norris was released on his own recognizance and will reappear in Chenango County Court at a later date.
• Lukis Smith, 44, Guilford, reappeared before the court to receive a lesser charge after he was charged with two counts of driving while intoxicated, class E felonies, in September, 2012.
During the 2012 hearing, Smith pleaded guilty to one count of driving while intoxicated in exchange for probation, which he successfully completed earlier this year. Since then, Smith has received good word from his probation officers and from his employer, leading to a lesser charge of a class A misdemeanor for the second count of driving while intoxicated.
“This court gave him a year to prove himself to the court and the community,” said McBride. “I think he has done that.”
