NORWICH – Four individuals appeared in Chenango County Court on Friday with regard to felony charges against them.
• Stacy Truesdail, 31, Greene, appeared before Chenango County Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr. on the matter of sentencing for the crime of attempted burglary in the second degree, a class D felony.
On Nov. 8, Truesdail entered a plea of guilty with the understanding she could be sentenced to a split sentence of up to six months incarceration and five years of felony probation. According to District Attorney Joe McBride, Truesdail entered her neighbor’s home, stole property, and then sold said property in Binghamton.
The agreement previously made stated that if Truesdail did not pay restitution, she would serve 90 days in jail.
Per Friday’s proceedings, Revoir said as long as the restitution – in the amount of $1,780 – was paid to the victim, jail time served would be reduced to 60 days.
Revoir exonerated Truesdail’s bail money, providing her the opportunity to pay the restitution, and adjourned sentencing until Jan. 24.
As she has plead guilty to the crime and bail has been exonerated, if Truesdail misses her court date, she could be facing seven years in prison.
• Martin J. Sullivan appeared before the court on a fugitive warrant.
In 2012, Sullivan was brought before the Chenango County Court regarding outstanding credit card fraud charges in Florida. At that time, Sullivan was released by former Chenango County Court Judge Howard Sullivan with the understanding that the defendant would clear up the Florida charges against him.
The charges were not taken care of by Sullivan, and the State of Florida requested that he be remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility so he can be extradited and taken back to Florida to appear.
“I have spoken with those in Florida who want him, and they are prepared to be here within ten business days, Judge,” said McBride.
Sullivan’s defense counsel, John Cameron, said his client has signed the waiver of extradition. Sullivan also told the court he is in fact the man wanted on the warrant.
