Two arraigned on manufacture of meth charges
NORWICH – The arraignments of Gwenda J. Knapp, 47, of Smyrna, and Richard L. Brewer Sr., 52, of Smyrna, took place when the Chenango County Court convened for a morning session on Monday, June 27.
Both individuals were arraigned on two charges; one count of unlawful manufacture of methamphetamine in the third degree, a class D felony; and one count of unlawful disposal of meth lab material, a class E felony.
It is alleged that on June 3, 2016, both defendants, while acting in concert with one another, did knowingly and with intent to use, possessed pseudoephedrine, sulfuric acid, lithium metal, white gas, ether, plastic bottles, coffee grinders, and coffee filters to unlawfully manufacture methamphetamine at a residence on County Road 18 in the Town of Preston.
It is also alleged that the pair knowingly disposed of meth lab material by placing plastic bottles, lithium batteries, starting fluid cans, a coleman fuel can, coffee filters, pseudoephedrine blister packs and other methamphetamine byproducts in multiple burn piles located outside the same residence. This act created a substantial risk to human safety and a danger to the environment.
Knapp was the first to appear before The Honorable Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr. She entered not guilty pleas to both charges. Assistant District Attorney Laura Parker, representing the people of Chenango County, requested that Knapp be remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility in lieu of $5,000 cash bail, or $10,000 bond, as she has one failure to appear on her record, as well as eight prior misdemeanor convictions. Knapp's defense attorney argued that the defendant is not a flight risk and still has a young son who is attending school in the area. She also said that Knapp is employed locally.
Judge Revoir decided to keep Knapp's bail at the local court amount of $1,000 cash, or $5,000 bond. If she posts bail, Revoir said that Knapp will be subject to random testing for the presence of drugs and alcohol, she must reside at her given residence seven days a week, and she will not be allowed to leave the State of New York without the court's permission.
Brewer was next to appear in front of the judge. He was represented by defense attorney John Cameron. In this instance, Parker asked that the defendant be remanded to the custody of the CCCF in lieu of $50,000 cash bail, or $100,000 bond, as he has two prior felony convictions on his record. Cameron said that he understood bail needed to be set in the case, but requested that the judge set it at a reasonable amount.
Judge Revoir ultimately decided to set bail at $10,000 cash, or $30,000 bond for the defendant, and provided the same set of stipulations for Brewer if he is released on bail as he laid out for Knapp.
Both defendants will reappear in court at a later date.
