Several arraigned in county court
NORWICH – Several alleged offenders were arraigned for various crimes at Chenango County Court.
• Kajaun A. Bunn, 30, Brooklyn, was charged with the class B felony of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree and the class a misdemeanor of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree. He is currently incarcerated in the Chenango County Correctional Facility.
Bunn pleaded not guilty to all counts.
“Judge, the defendant has a previous conviction of attempted murder. He was released to parole on June, 7 of 2007. He was running a drug house here and has ties outside this community. He is not from this community. I would ask that bail be set at $100,000,” said McBride.
Revoir set bail at $100,000 cash or $750,000 bond.
“I will make sure that you are assigned new council. We will have new council for you by the end of the day,” said Revoir to Bunn.
• Adam S. Holt, 24, New Berlin, class E felony of grand larceny in the fourth degree and the class A misdemeanors of driving while intoxicated, petit larceny and obstructing governmental administration in the second degree. He is currently incarcerated in the Chenango County Correctional Facility.
Holt pleaded not guilty to all counts.
Said McBride, “The defendant does not currently have a home. He stole a car, drove it drunk and crashed it. When the police were called, he got into a fight with the police. If someone gave him a place to live, I would not object to him being released and going to A.T.I.”
Wentworth told the Judge that Holt’s mother lives in Norwich and it is somewhere he could live if he was released.
Holt was advised by the district attorney to “Get a job, listen to A.T.I. and become a productive member of society.” He is still in custody and has not been released.
• Steven A. Cutting, 30, Norwich, was charged with the class E felony of grand larceny in the fourth degree and the class A misdemeanor of petit larceny. He was arrested on Nov. 1 and is currently incarcerated in the Chenango County Correctional Facility.
Cutting pleaded not guilty to all counts.
“The defendant was out on parole for a prior felony and allegedly committed the crime right after being released. He stole a car and went into numerous other cars and stole property. We would ask that bail be set at $25,000,” said McBride.
“My client is not a flight risk, we would ask that bail be set to a lesser amount, Judge,” said Wentworth.
Revoir set bail to $25,000 cash or $100,000 insurance bond.
• Mark N. Crawford, 46, Bainbridge, was charged with the class C felony of aggravated sexual abuse in the second degree and the class A misdemeanor of endangering the welfare of a child. He is currently incarcerated in the Chenango County Correctional Facility.
Crawford pleaded not guilty to all counts.
When Crawford was arraigned by the local court, bail was set at $20,000 cash or $60,000 bond.
“This is a violent felony. He sexually molested a child and caused physical damage to the victim. He is facing a lot of time. He is not an American citizen. He has every reason to flee. He is to be deported when this matter is settled. The people would request that the bail be increased to $100,000,” said District Attorney Joseph McBride.
“If you increase bail, this will make it difficult for my client to post bail, since $20,000 is already difficult for him to post. He understands the seriousness of these charges and is not a flight risk,” said public defender, Zachary Wentworth.
Judge Frank B. Revoir, Jr. increased Crawford’s bail to $75,000 cash or $300,000 insurance bond.
McBride requested orders of protection for the victim and her sibling and said, “The victim is a young girl and the other child is a young man.”
Judge Revoir issued a no-contact protection order for all members of the victim’s household. He also also ordered Crawford to undergo a mental health evaluation, as well as a sex offender evaluation.
• Jamar M. Hickman, 27, Utica, was charged with the class C felony of burglary in the second degree, the class D felony of assault in the second degree, the class A misdemeanor of resisting arrest and the class A misdemeanor of assault in the third degree. Hickman is currently incarcerated in the Chenango County Correctional Facility where he was remanded without bail. Due to prior convictions, bail was not allowed to be set.
Hickman pleaded not guilty to all counts.
During the court proceedings, McBride said that Hickman had three prior felony convictions and four prior drug-related convictions.
“The defendant is looking at 25 years to life. He allegedly broke into someone’s house and beat someone up. We would request that bail be set at $100,000,” said McBride.
Bail was set to $100,000 cash or $500,000 insurance bond.
“We maintain our innocence. We knew bail would have to be set today, but we plan to file for a change in bail,” said public defender, Linden Summers.
• David W. Lowe, 40, North Norwich, was charged with the class E felony of failure to register as a sex offender. He is currently incarcerated at the Chenango County Correction Facility.
Lowe pleaded not guilty to all counts.
Lowe told Revoir that he was not incarcerated on the current charge but for four other charges for which he appeared nearly three months ago.
“The defendant has a prior conviction for a felony sex offense. There is a violation of probation being filed. We would ask that bail be set at $20,000, so it is ensured that he shows up to court,” said McBride.
Revoir set bail in the amount of $20,000 cash and required that any bail posted would have to be presented before him in Chenango County Court.
• Joseph C. Hill, 53, Afton, was charged with the class D felony of reckless endangerment in the first degree, class D felony of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree and class A misdemeanor of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree. The alleged crimes took place in Broome County and the case was transferred to Chenango County Court.
Hill pleaded not guilty to all counts. Bail was set at $50,000 cash or $100,000 property bond in the local court.
“The defendant has 36 prior arrests, was convicted of a felony and an order of protection is needed for one victim,” said McBride.
“My client has limited resources, so we would ask that bail be set at a more reasonable amount. He could possibly manage an amount below $25,000,” said Wentworth.
Revoir continued bail in the same amount set by the local courts.
• Kajaun A. Bunn, 30, Brooklyn, was charged with the class B felony of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree and the class a misdemeanor of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree.
