NORWICH – A man who allegedly committed additional crimes in jail while waiting to be sentenced on his pending charges was given the same plea deal in Norwich City Court Tuesday that he was originally offered, despite objection from prosecutors.

Twenty-nine-year-old Sandy L. Beeching, 29 Court St., Norwich was sentenced to a one-year conditional discharge that requires him to stay out of trouble for 12 months and was given six months in the Chenango County jail for third degree assault.

The charge originated from an incident that involved Beeching beating and stealing money from a Norwich resident Aug. 18.

After cutting a deal with the District Attorney’s Office that required he not be arrested again, he was charged this week with petit larceny and sixth degree conspiracy, misdemeanors, after he and another inmate allegedly stole about $20 in property while at the jail.

First Assistant District Attorney Stephen Dunshee requested that Beeching’s deal be revoked by the judge and asked him to hand down the maximum sentence for the third degree assault – a full year in local jail.
