Two years in prison for man involved in Grove Avenue meth bust

NORWICH – A Norwich man was sentenced on drug charges following his arrest that occurred at a residence on Grove Avenue on Sept 7, 2016.
Chenango County Court convened before Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr. on Monday to hear the matter of Devan A. Ellsworth.
Ellsworth was present with his attorney Scott Clippinger for this matter. Assistant District Attorney Laura Parker was present on behalf of the people of Chenango County.
Ellsworth was originally arrested on September 7, 2016, while The City of Norwich Police Department, in conjunction with the Chenango County Sheriff's Office conducted a 'no knock' search warrant at 42 Grove Ave, apt A in the City of Norwich.
Authorities said that during the execution of both search warrants, several ‘One-Pot’ meth cooking containers were located at both locations.
Because of the dangerous chemicals involved with the manufacturing of meth, the Norwich Police requested the assistance of the New York State Police – CCERT (Contaminated Crime Scene Emergency Response Team).
The Norwich Police and NYSP CCERT were on the scene for several hours while the chemicals, containers and evidence were collected. The Norwich Fire Department was also on the scene of both locations as a precautionary measure. The Norwich Code Enforcement also assisted.
“The sole count charges you, Mr. Ellsworth, with unlawful manufacture of methamphetamine in the third degree, in violation of section 220.73 subdivision 1,” said Revoir. “It alleges that on September 7, at approximately 8:13 a.m. at 42 Grove Ave, apt A in the City of Norwich, County of Chenango that you, Sir, did knowingly and unlawfully possess the precursors to manufacturer methamphetamine”.
Ellsworth did enter a guilty plea in court and was advised that his sentence would be two years in a state penitentiary followed by two years post release supervision.
When asked if the people would like to be heard for the record, “Judge, the only thing further I would like to say before the court is that the defendant is a predict felon,” said Parker.
Revoir also added to the record the lengthy criminal history the defendant has and strongly urged Mr. Ellsworth to try and get accepted into rehabilitation programs that the state will offer once he’s in prison.
Revoir also said that this is his “last shot to change his life.”
“I wish you all the best of luck, Sir,” said Revoir.
All fines, fees, and surcharges were waived at this time due to indigency. A written waiver of appeal was signed at the closing of the case.
