Binghamton man facing weapons charges released on own recognizance
NORWICH – Timothy J. Reid, 32, of Binghamton, appeared in Chenango County Court on Friday, Sept. 9, to waive his right to be prosecuted by indictment, and, instead, choose to be arraigned by superior court information.
Reid faces two felony charges; one count of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, a class C felony; and one count of criminal possession of a firearm, a class E felony.
Under New York State law, a person is guilty of criminal possession of a firearm when that person knowingly possesses any firearm, while a person is guilty of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree when, with intent to use the same unlawfully against another, that person knowingly possesses a loaded firearm.
Alyssa Congdon, who represented Reid, waived a reading of the charges, and entered not guilty pleas to both counts on behalf of her client.
First Assistant District Attorney Michael Ferrarese, who represented the people of Chenango County in the matter, was the first to speak on the issue of bail. He said, “The people are not asking for bail, but are asking that the defendant enroll in the Alternative to Incarceration (ATI) program.” He continued, saying, “these allegations stem from a routine traffic stop. There was also allegedly drugs found that could not be tested roadside. We are awaiting the test results. There are allegations that there was LSD.”
Congdon said that her client was willing to consent to enrolling in the ATI program.
Judge Revoir continued Reid's release on his own recognizance, with the stipulations that he reside at his Binghamton residence seven days a week, he have no further violations of the law, he not leave New York State without the court’s permission, and he subject himself to random testing for the presence of drugs or alcohol in his system.
