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.
