New York City man remanded back to jail after causing uproar in courtroom
NORWICH – A New York City man was remanded back to the Chenango County jail after being deemed incompetent to represent himself during his arraignment by Chenango County Court Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr.
Steven Peterson, 37, of New York City, was in court on Wednesday for his arraignment, the third attempt since his arrest in May.
Judge Revoir said during the first attempt, Peterson was so disruptive and unruly he had to be removed from the courtroom. Peterson was not able to appear before the Judge for the second attempt because he was being disruptive in the holding cell.
“The last time we were here, the reason I chose not to bring him into the courtroom, is I took sworn testimony from the corrections officers who indicate that he is a public safety hazard in the correctional facility,” Judge Revoir said.
The Judge had previously had mental health services attempt to conduct an interview with Peterson, but he refused to see them to partake in the interview.
On Wednesday, Peterson was carried in by three Chenango County Corrections Officers. Peterson was dragging his feet and refusing to walk. Attorney Scott Clippinger was present, as he was previously assigned to Peterson and would continue to be if Judge Revoir found Peterson to be incompetent.
Judge Revoir had Peterson removed after a short time, saying, “He will just not stop yelling and talking over me.”
Revoir then assigned Clippinger to Peterson, though when asked if he had a chance to speak with his client, Clippinger indicated that Peterson refuses to speak with him as well.
First Assistant District Attorney Michael Ferrarese requested that the bail remain the same at $100,000 cash and $250,000 bond as he has failed to appear at previous court hearings numerous times. Judge Revoir agreed with that and bail will remain the same.
Peterson is charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, a class B felony; resisting arrest, a class A misdemeanor; and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the 7th degree, a class A misdemeanor. All charges stem from his arrest on May 16.
