Six arraigned in county court
NORWICH – Six were arraigned in Chenango County Court on Dec. 6, for crimes including sex offenses, larceny, and driving while intoxicated.
• Nicholas S. Barrows, 27, Smithville, was arraigned for the class D felony of sexual abuse in the first degree and the class A misdemeanor of endangering the welfare of a child. Barrows has been previously convicted of burglary in Oxford and received a sentence of 18 to 54 months in prison. He was on parole when the current alleged crime took place.
Barrows was issued a no contact warrant, protecting the witnesses of the crime, which include the victim’s relatives. The victim is currently living outside the area, but the mother of the victim’s boyfriend’s children, who are witnesses to the crime, still reside in the area.
“He has no intention of contacting them, Judge,” said public defender, John Cameron.
“Judge, the defendant committed the alleged crime years ago and because he is facing substantial time in prison, I would ask that bail be set at a substantial amount,” said District Attorney Joseph McBride.
Cameron told the Judge that Barrows had already been arraigned in Smithville and currently released on a $60,000 bond. Judge Revoir continued the bail set by Smithville court at the same amount.
Barrows pleaded not guilty to both counts, was read his rights and has 45 days to make motions for trial.
Barrows attended court with three of his family members and left the courtroom with them on his own recognizance. He is to reappear in Chenango County Court at a later date.
• Robert E. Baker, 58, Plymouth, was arraigned for the class E felonies of possession of a sexual performance of a child and possession of an obscene sexual performance of a child.
Baker pleaded not guilty to all accounts and was released on his own recognizance by Plymouth Town Court. Judge Revoir did not ask for any additional bail but warned Baker not to leave the state without permission.
Baker will reappear in Chenango County Court at a later date.
• Alycia C. Martin, 33, Sidney, was arraigned for the class D felony of forgery in the second degree and the class A misdemeanor of forgery in the third degree.
Martin pleaded not guilty to both counts.
Martin was on drug and alcohol probation out of Delaware County at the time the alleged crime took place. Revoir did not ask for additional bail but told Martin to comply with the conditions of her current probation.
When the Revoir asked if the victim needed an order of protection, McBride responded, “The defendant allegedly took a credit card from the victim while she was cleaning at night for a business. She then used the card and forged the victim’s name. She has no relationship with the victim.”
Martin will reappear in Chenango County Court at a later date.
• Charles A. Seitz, 56, Benson, NC, was arraigned for the class D felony of grand larceny in the third degree, the class D felony of possession of a forged instrument in the fourth degree and the class A misdemeanor of petit larceny.
Seitz is currently out of jail on a bond and lives out of state. He told Revoir that he drives a tractor trailer back and forth between North Carolina and Cutterbackville, NY, once a week.
Seitz pleaded not guilty to all counts. He is to report to the probation department in his hometown or, if he can not report to probation in his hometown, he is to report to Sullivan County’s probation department in New York. He is scheduled to be in a line-up in Chenango County at a later date.
Revoir said to Seitz, “You have permission to leave the state of New York, but if you fail to show up to court, you can be remanded to the county jail here.”
“Judge, I would like to go on record that I am presenting a file to the court for dismissal on procedural grounds,” said Seitz’s lawyer, Jeremy Kaufman of the Greenwald Law Offices.
Seitz is to reappear in Chenango County Court at a later date.
• Michael A. French, 52, Greene, was arraigned for the class E felony of driving while intoxicated to which he pleaded not guilty on both accounts.
