Three Felony Burglary Cases Heard, Two Admitted Drug Problems

By: Cameron Turner

NORWICH – Three felony burglary cases were heard Monday, Dec. 7, in Chenango County Court.

County Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr. presided over each case while Assistant District Attorney Laura Parker was present on behalf of the people.

• Anthony W. Irwin, 55, of Greene was present in court with his attorney John Cameron.

It is alleged that Irwin was previously arrested after he allegedly stole $1,700 in cash register receipts.

Cameron once again waived the right to be prosecuted by a grand jury, per Irwin's request, instead choosing to be issued a superier court information (SCI) from the District Attorney’s Office.

Revoir then read the three charges into the record from the SCI charging Irwin with a class D felony of burglary in the third; a class E felony of grand larceny in the fourth degree; and the class A misdemeanor of petit larceny.

I would ask that you waive the reading of all the allegations and we will enter not guilty pleas to all counts.

Parker then filed her affidavit of service and notice of intent for trial to the court before saying, “we ask that bail be maintained at $10,000 which was set by the Greene Court. He has ties to Broome County, prior felonies and misdemeanors, as well as an out of state FBI hit with 10 different aliases.”

“My client appeared today, and very well dressed. He is employed full-time, and lives with his wife who has some disabilities. He wants to be able to assist her, he has had some problems, so I ask that he be released with some alcohol and drug conditions added,” said Cameron.

Revoir then inquired if bail had been posted.

“He was released after serving 45 days in jail, he is a Broome County resident,” answered Cameron.

“I will release you today, or ROR you. This is a big leap of faith I am taking if what Ms. Parker and the District Attorney's office has said is true. But you have been released and have gained employment, there will be drug and alcohol testing though,” said Revoir.

Irwin was instructed to report to Jim Everard following courts conclusion, so he can begin monitoring the situation.

Irwin reportedly is currently receiving treatment at the New Horizons treatment center in Binghamton.

“I've had a bad relapse, so they will probably put me in inpatient for 30 days,” stated Irwin.

Parker asked that the last condition of his release be to stay away from the victim in the matter, which Revoir agreed to as a condition.

• Travis L. Demuth, 23, of North Norwich was also present in court with John Cameron representing him.

Demuth was previously arrested after he allegedly stole a Flat Screen Television, Play Station 2, DVD Player, and an assortment of jewelry.

Cameron waived the right to be prosecuted by indictment of a grand jury at this time.
