Jenkins released after 45 days, indicted just days later

NORWICH – Due to court order, Nathaniel Jenkins, 31, of Binghamton was released from the Chenango County Correctional Facility on Jan. 19, 2016.
Days later, the grand jury in Chenango County indicted Jenkins, for two felony charges and three misdemeanor charges.
The grand jury indictment for the month of January charged Jenkins with two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, a class B felony; criminally using drug paraphernalia, a class A misdemeanor; and two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance in seventh degree, a class A misdemeanor.
These charges stem from a recent incident, where Jenkins was arrested along with five other individuals on Nov. 27, 2015, during a East Main Street trespass call-turned drug bust.
When the Norwich Police Department arrived on the scene, it was allegedly made known by noises heard that there were individuals in the upstairs floor of an unattached garage next to the East Main Street residence.
John E. Strong, 43, of 88 East Main St. in Norwich; Cheyenne M. Davenport, 19, of Norwich; Diana R. Essig, 29, of Lebanon, Penn., Lori M. Brooks, 35, of Unadilla, and Delta D. Burns, 40, of Norwich, were the five other individuals arrested from the residence that same night.
During the drug bust this past November, Norwich Police Department Officers that were on the scene did allege that various drugs including crack cocaine, heroin, and marijuana, along with drug paraphernalia were seen and recovered from the detached garage of the residence.
The grand jury indictment states that during the incident on East Main Street in the City of Norwich, last November, that Jenkins while in concert with others, was in possession of 30-plastic wraps of the narcotic drug cocaine; a plastic bag containing heroin; as well as numerous rubber bands and glassine envelopes for the sale and distribution of the heroin. Therefore, Jenkins is being charged with intent to sell.
The original charges that Jenkins was facing were two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, a class B felony; criminally using drug paraphernalia in the second degree, a class A misdemeanor; criminal possession of marijuana in the fifth degree, a class B misdemeanor; and loitering in the first degree, a class B misdemeanor.
While the three top charges from the arrest were carried through to the indictment, the grand jury did not elect to indict Jenkins on the marijuana related charge, while the loitering charge was also dropped.
Instead, the two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, class A misdemeanors were tacked on, due to Jenkins being in possession of the cocaine and heroin.
Per the law, Jenkins was released after a 45-day period, allegedly due to the lab reports being performed on the narcotic drugs that were confiscated, having not arrived on time.
Jenkins will not be issued a warrant at this time, but instead will be notified when his next court appearance is scheduled.
