Reynolds pleads guilty
NORWICH – Repeat offender Robert R. Reynolds appeared in Chenango County Court on Nov. 18. Reynolds, 52, Sherburne, pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of attempted criminal possession of marijuana, a class D felony. Reynolds was charged with the class C felony of criminal possession of marijuana in the first degree back in April.
Reynolds was arrested on April 11, 2013, following a month-long investigation by the Chenango County Sheriff’s Office, with the assistance of the Sherburne Police Department, into the alleged sale of marijauna from Reynold’s residence at 476 Pleasant Valley Rd. in Sherburne.
During a “no-knock” search warrant, Reynolds was found to be in possession of 100 pounds of high-grade, processed marijuana, an estimated $17,000 in drug paraphernalia, and $36,402 in cash. The estimated street value of the drugs Reynolds possessed was $100,000.
Reynolds is most well-known for killing a man during an attempted robbery at his home in 2007. The attempted robbery was found to be drug-related. The victim, Joshua D. Richheimer, engaged Reynolds in a gun fight and was shot dead. Despite burying the victim, Reynolds was found to be acting in self-defense. Before Richheimer’s body was discovered, there was an investigation into his disappearance.
During the investigation, Reynolds was also found to be in possession of three to four pounds of marijuana. He was convicted of the class D felony of criminal possession of marijuana in the second degree in 2008, and sent to prison for two and a half years. Before his 2008 conviction, Reynolds had an extensive criminal history of drug-related crimes and was a self-admitted drug dealer.
Before court proceedings were initiated, the court stenographer set a computer in front of Reynolds to give him a real time visual of what was said in court. This provision was made for him because he is known to be hard of hearing.
Revoir said that as part of the plea, Reynolds would have to forfeit drug-related assets – including a 70-inch flat screen television, two vehicles, two tractors, $36,402 in cash, an NBT Bank account with the balance of $23,465.66 (minus $7,000 that was counted as legitimate earnings). As Reynolds squinted at the computer screen to read what assets he was forfeiting, Judge Revoir leaned over the bench and raised his voice, saying, “Is that your understanding, Mr. Reynolds?” Reynolds shouted back an affirmative, “Yes.”
Judge Revoir continued to speak in a loud voice so that Reynolds could hear him. As Revoir was reading Reynolds his rights, Reynolds – in a loud voice – gave elaborated responses to indicate that he understood his rights, such as, “I understand that, sir, your honor, but I don’t want any of that” and “I don’t want none of it, sir, your honor.”
Reynolds proceeded to plead guilty of knowingly and unlawfully attempting to possess 34 clear plastic bags of 5,359 grams of marijuana. Once Reynolds had pled guilty, District Attorney Joe McBride asked Reynolds to sign over the title of his vehicles prior to sentencing. Reynolds’ lawyer, Scott Clippinger, agreed to have Reynolds sign them before sentencing.
Judge Revoir concluded the plea and said that sentencing would be at a later date.
