NORWICH – A young man accused of manufacturing meth was sentenced on Dec. 15 in Chenango County Court by Judge Frank B. Revoir, Jr.

Quin R. Nichols, 22, Norwich, was indicted on Sept. 17 this year for criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree, a class A-2 felony; criminal possession of precursors of methamphetamine, a class E felony; unlawful manufacture of methamphetamine in the third degree, a class D felony; and criminal possession of methamphetamine manufacturing material in the second degree, a class A misdemeanor.

It is alleged on or about July 5 on County Road 10A in the Town of Preston, Nichols did possess precursors with solvent to unlawfully manufacture methamphetamine.

Nichols was remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility at the time of his arrest, where he served 45 days. He was released after serving 45 days, because lab reports had not been returned within the required time frame.

Nichols was arraigned on Sept. 29 and originally pleaded not guilty. He was released on his own recognizance.

On Oct. 20, Nichols was remanded back to the county jail in lieu of $25,000 cash bail. He was still incarcerated at the jail at the time of his sentencing.

Nichols pleaded guilty to unlawful manufacturing of methamphetamine in the third degree, a class D felony on Dec. 15.
