GREENE – The Chenango County Sheriff’s Office has seized more than $100,000 worth of drugs following a welfare check on a man reported to be slumped over his steering wheel in the Village of Greene.
According to Chenango County Sheriff Ernest Cutting, in the early morning hours of May 16, 2021, Sheriff's Deputies were dispatched to the Mirabito gas station in the Village of Greene for a welfare check.
Cutting said upon arrival, deputies located Phillip S. Cosilmon slumped over the steering wheel of his vehicle. He said upon further investigation, a large quantity of drugs along with $22,000 in cash was located in the vehicle.
Cosilmon, 31, of Smithville was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class A felony.
“While deputies were checking on the male, drugs, and drug paraphernalia were in plain view of the deputies,” said Cutting. “Cosilmon, who was already under a lengthy narcotics investigation was taken into custody and the vehicle was towed to the Chenango County Sheriff's Office for further investigation.”
“At approximately 6:50 a.m. the Sheriff's Office Narcotics Division conducted a search of the vehicle and located two pounds of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, MDMA, acid, mushrooms and over $22,000 in US currency inside of the vehicle the male was operating. The narcotics seized had a street value exceeding $100,000.”
Cutting said Cosilmon was arraigned in the Town of Norwich Court where he was remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility without bail. Cosilmon is scheduled to appear in the Chenango County Court at a later date.
The investigation is still ongoing, and Cutting said more charges are likely. He added that the Chenango County Sheriff's Office was assisted in the investigation by members of the New York State Police Troop C VGNET and the Chenango County District Attorney's Office.
