Man facing felony drug charges released without bail
NORWICH – A man facing felony drug charges was released on his own recognizance in Chenango County Court Monday.
Justin E. Holmquist appeared before Chenango County Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr., present with his attorney Gerald Raymond. Chenango County First Assistant District Attorney Michael Ferrarese represented the people.
The defendant had been previously remanded to jail on $10,500 bail.
Holmquist was escorted from the Chenango County Correctional Facility after being arrested for criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, a class B felony; petit larceny, a class A misdemeanor; and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, a class A misdemeanor.
Revoir explained the purposes of the proceeding were for Holmquist to potentially waive his Constitutional right to have his case presented before a grand jury.
Holmquist opted to waive his right, stating he would rather be charged per the ‘Superior Court Information,’ instead of by a grand jury.
Holmquist executed the written waiver of indictment and his attorney waived the reading of the details of the charges.
When Revoir inquired with Ferrarese his thoughts with respect to bail, Ferrarese provided the court with an Affidavit of Service and readiness to proceed to trial.
“With respect to bail, the people are ready to recommend that Mr. Holmquist be released on his own recognizance,” said Ferrarese. “On review of his file, he was born and raised here and has no criminal history. He has a supportive family. We recommend this on the condition that he report for random drug testing. He is also engaging in a pre-plea report, Judge.”
Revoir advised Holmquist that he is not to leave the state without permission from the court, not to engage in the use of drugs or alcohol, and report Tuesday to learn what is required of him regarding random drug testing.
Holmquist will appear in court again at a later date. Revoir provided 45 days for motions to be made.
Per the NY Penal Code, if found guilty, Holmquist could face 25 years in prison.
The defendant is presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law.
