Chenango County Court hears three cases, one involving heroin
NORWICH – This past Friday, Nov. 6, three cases, one involving heroin, were heard by Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr. in Chenango County Court.
First Assistant District Attorney Michael D. Ferrarese was present on behalf of the people.
• Rory J. Tanner was in Chenango County Court with his attorney, Public Defender John Cameron.
Tanner had been previously sentenced to a probation period on previous charges. However, a bench warrant was issued for Tanner after the probation department filed a violation of probation petition.
According to the District Attorney's Office, the warrant charges Tanner with burglary in the second degree, a class C violent felony.
“There are two violations I believe. On behalf of my client, I would deny the allegations entirely. Before we schedule a hearing, I would ask to conference this matter,” said Cameron.
“The denials have been noted for the record and we can re-schedule this matter for a conference,” said Revoir.
Tanner was remanded back to the Chenango County Correctional Facility.
The conference was tentatively scheduled for today, Tuesday Nov. 10 at 1:30 p.m.
• Thomas J. Mulverhill, 35, appeared in court with his attorney, Public Defender John Cameron, to be arraigned on his three count indictment.
Mulverhill was charged with burglary in the third degree, a class C felony; grand larceny in the fourth degree, a class E felony; and petit larceny, a class A misdemeanor.
On behalf of his client, Cameron entered not guilty pleas to all three of the charges mentioned.
Ferrarese filed his affidavit of service at this time, stating, “I believe he is out on $1,000 bail. I'd only ask what kind of contacts he has in Chenango County to determine if he is a flight risk at this time.”
It was made known to the court and people that Mulverhill currently resides in Cortland with his two children.
It was also alleged by the court that what was stolen by Mulverhill, leading to his arrest, was electronics from a Town of Norwich business.
“It is only concerning to me because he has a few open cases stemming all from this year only. He has cases in Dewitt, and three open misdemeanor cases all starting in January of this year. This sometimes indicates a drug or alcohol problem,” said Ferrarese.
“In my experience, that sometimes does indicate a drug or alcohol use. Any truth to that, Mr. Mulverhill?” asked Revoir.
Cameron indicated that his client had informed him of such a possible problem. “My client says he has taken a wrong turn lately,” Cameron said.
Revoir instructed bail to remain at $1,000, before asking, “If we were to test you today, what would you test positive for?”
“Heroin,” said Mulverhill.
“He has got to get himself clean. He is being very forthright with the court which is appreciated; but this is why his short rap sheet alarmed me. He has got to get himself clean for his children,” said Ferrarese.
Revoir instructed Mulverhill to report to Jim Everard following the conclusion of court, and indicated that he would like Mulverhill to start the auditioning process for drug treatment court.
A written pre plea waiver was signed.
• Ryanne R. Shepard, 26, of Sherburne was also in court with Public Defender John Cameron representing her.
Shepard had previously pleaded guilty to welfare fraud in the third degree, a class D felony. Shepard was sentenced to interim probation on Aug. 10 as a result.
Revoir indicated that the probation department had filed a complaint stating that it was “impossible to supervise her, no restitution has been paid, canceling and rescheduling appointments and then not showing up for the scheduled appointments.”
“My client is not living in a good place. People are there that are working heavily against her. She needs to continue on probation, pay the restitution and be able to support her children. But she needs to get out of the living environment she is in currently,” said Cameron.
Shepard indicated that someone in the household she is residing in has been deleting voicemail messages, tearing mail up or throwing it away, which has made it difficult to cooperate with probation.
Revoir indicated that he would postpone the matter and reschedule it for Dec. 4, at 9:30 a.m.
“Go meet with the probation department today. Between now and the next time we meet, if I get any more good or bad reports, that will be what I base my decision on,” said Revoir.
