NORWICH – Two were sentenced, one for intoxicated, illegal driving, and the other for fraud; and two appeared, one for growing marijuana and the other for breaking a window, in Norwich City Court on March 3.

• Jeb Davis, 36, Norwich, was charged with aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the second degree.

Aaron Dean was standing in as Davis' public defender and said Davis wanted to make a deal and plead guilty to the charge.

“There is a mandatory fine with that charge, so when is he going to pay that?” said Judge James E. Downey to Dean. “Why don't I just send him to jail?

Regarding Davis paying his fine, Dean said Downey would be “joining the line of 11 other places.”

Downey also said Davis had three or more suspensions on separate days.

“We'll take a week,” said Dean.

“Yeah, he ain't doing nothing else,” said Downey.

Davis pleaded guilty to the AUO in the second degree on March 3.

He was sentenced to 15 days of incarceration in the Chenango County Correctional Facility and one year conditional discharge.

Davis will also be required to pay a $200 fine and $88 surcharge within 30 days of his release from jail.

“When does it get to the point when enough's enough?” said Downey to Davis. “You going to put down the crack bowl and heroin needle?”

“If you can get on top of [your drug habit], you could have a decent life,” Downey added.

Davis said he never got a chance to get clean, because he was always sent back to jail and never to rehab.

“Isn't jail kind of like rehab?” said Downey.

“Not these days,” said Davis. Davis later agreed with Downey and said jail could be similar to an involuntary form of rehab.

“I wish you luck. I really do,” said Downey.

• David Bovee, 47, Norwich, was charged with petit larceny and falsifying business records in the second degree.

According to Judge Downey, Bovee received unemployment income he was not entitled to from the New York State Department of labor by filing a false instrument.

Bovee pleaded guilty to petit larceny.

He was sentenced to three years of probation on March 3.

Bovee will also be required to pay $7,089 in restitution plus a surcharge and a $500 fine at a rate set by his probation officer before his probation period expires.

“You have three years to get it paid,” said Downey. “If you don't, then you're going to be re-sentenced up to a year in a correctional facility.”

• Andrew Finnegan, 27, Norwich, was charged with unlawful growth of cannabis and appeared in court on March 3.
