NORWICH – Nine individuals appeared in Chenango County Court Monday for charges related to unlawful methamphetamine manufacture, sexual misconduct, DWI, and violation of parole.

Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr. was the Chenango County Court Judge presiding over each of the cases.

Public Defender John Cameron, represented all nine defendants. While District Attorney Joseph A. McBride was present on behalf of the people.

• Donald P. Scott, 51, of Afton was present in order to possibly change his previous plea of not guilty, and thus enter a guilty plea to the first count of his indictment.

The first count charged Scott with unlawful manufacture of methamphetamine in the third degree, a class D felony. The first count alleged that Scott did knowingly with intent to use, possessed a water bottle filled with various chemicals used to create methamphetamine.

Scott pleaded guilty to the top charge at this time.

“Man is in his 50s, I am honestly surprised he is here with his minimal criminal background. But I understand he is addicted to meth, and the court is giving him a tremendous break allowing him to participate in treatment court due to time already served. I wish you luck but if you do this again you will be removed from the community for as long as possible,” said McBride.

“I just want to apologize,” stated Scott.
