NORWICH – A 32-year-old man admitted guilt to felony level narcotics possession and will serve time in state prison.

The case of Nathaniel J. Jenkins was heard when the Chenango County Court convened for a morning session on Monday, August 1. Assistant District Attorney Laura Parker represented the people of Chenango County, and defense attorney Christopher Grace represented Jenkins. The Honorable Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr. presided over matters.

Jenkins, 32, of Binghamton, originally faced charges of: two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, a class B felony; criminally using drug paraphernalia in the second degree, a class A misdemeanor; criminal possession of marijuana in the fifth degree, a class B misdemeanor; and loitering in the first degree, a class B misdemeanor.

These charges stemmed from a trespass call received by the City of Norwich Police Department to an East Main Street residence, at approximately 10:45 p.m. on November 27, 2015. When authorities arrived on the scene, they allegedly heard noises coming from the upstairs floor of an unattached garage of the residence. It is alleged that various drugs including crack cocaine, heroin, and marijuana, along with drug paraphernalia were seen and recovered from the detached garage of the residence. In addition to Jenkins' arrest, five other individuals were also arrested in the incident.
