NORWICH – A Chenango County Sheriff's Office detective testified at a felony hearing Thursday and detailed the events leading up to the execution of a no-knock search warrant in the City of Norwich earlier this week. Police confiscated nearly two kilograms (around four pounds) of methamphetamine and approximately $35,000 in the raid.

Corey A. Weidman, 34, and Cheyanne D. Moore, 22, both residents of 93 East Main Street Apartment 1F, Norwich, are now charged with first-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, second-degree criminal possession of drug paraphernalia, and unlawful possession of a firearm after police raided their apartment.

Police said Weidman, who has a local history of drugs crimes, attempted to flee police by jumping through a first story window. He suffered injuries and was taken to the hospital for treatment before being sent to jail.

On Thursday in Norwich City Court, Weidman's defense requested a felony hearing.

Norwich City Court Judge Michael Genute said a felony hearing is to establish if there is reasonable evidence that a felony-level crime may have been committed. At the end of the hearing, Genute ruled there was sufficient evidence to proceed with a felony charge and now the case will be presented before a grand jury, who will determine what felony crimes Weidman will ultimately face in Chenango County Court.
