Cases of drug possession and assault were heard in
Delaware County Court on Monday before Judge Carl
Becker, a court official said.
John D. Gilchrist Jr., 48, of Margaretville, pleaded
guilty to fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled
substance, said county court clerk Allison Barnes.
He was sentenced to three years in state prison, three
years parole and a six-month license revocation.
After his arrest by deputies Sept. 7 in Middletown,
he pleaded not guilty to that same charge, in connection
with oxycodone hydrochloride acetaminophen. He was
also charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of
a controlled substance _ cocaine; criminal possession of
a controlled substance outside the original container _
Percocet; criminal use of drug paraphernalia; unlicensed
driver; no seat belt; and failure to notify the Department
of Motor Vehicles of an address change.
Gilchrist was convicted of third-degree sale of a controlled
substance in November 2000, Delaware County
District Attorney Richard Northrup previously said.
In other court business:
- Zachariah Muller, 30, of Harpersfield, pleaded guilty
to second-degree assault and was sentenced to three
years in state prison, five years parole, Barnes said. An
order of protection was issued, and he paid restitution
of $60.
Muller pleaded not guilty Oct. 29 to charges of seconddegree
assault, second-degree menacing, fourth-degree
criminal possession of a weapon and disorderly conduct.
He had been arrested June 2007 by state police after
he allegedly stabbed a man in the leg with a knife in the
village of Stamford.
- David Hall, 38, no address given, was ordered to pay
restitution of $2,858 by Nov. 1, Barnes said.
He was sentenced on March 19, 2007, for driving while
intoxicated in February 2006.
Because he hit a house during the incident, part of his
probation included restitution, she said.
A petition of violation of probation was being considered
when Hall agreed to make the payments, she added.
