NORWICH – Five individuals indicted on felony charges were sentenced in county court Friday, while three others pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against them.

• Dale W. Brooks, 43, Afton, pleaded guilty to one count of third degree grand larceny – a class D felony – after admitting he collected more than $10,000 in unemployment insurance benefits to which he was not entitled. He was sentenced to five years probation and must pay restitution in the amount of $10,070.

• Jeremy Q. Decker, 25, Bainbridge, admitted to violating the terms of his probation and was remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility pending his next court appearance.

It’s alleged that Decker – a registered sex offender in the state of New York – travelled outside the county on two separate occasions, had contact with children under the age of 18 and accessed the Internet without first registering with his probation officer, all violations of his probation.

In May of 2011, Decker pleaded guilty to first degree sexual abuse – a class D violent felony – after he allegedly had sexual contact with a child under the age of eleven.

• Peggy S. Barrows, 42, Norwich, was sentenced to five years probation and must attend drug treatment court over the course of the next year.

In December of 2011, Barrows was charged with fifth degree criminal possession of a controlled substance with the intent to sell – a class D felony – in addition to misdemeanor charges of criminal possession of a switchblade knife and an electronic stun gun; seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance; fifth degree conspiracy; second degree criminal nuisance; criminal use of drug paraphernalia and criminal possession of marijuana.

• Jeffrey Dugon, 25, Afton, pleaded guilty to two counts of second degree burglary – a class D felony – and was sentenced to five years probation pending his ability to maintain his employment and remain drug and alcohol free.
