DELHI _ Jury selection was under way Monday in a trial involving a Fleischmanns man facing eight charges related to two burglaries.
Matthew C. Galunas, 41, was arrested Oct. 30 and charged with eight felonies; he was arraigned in November. The alleged incidents took place in Margaretville during December 2007.
Galunas pleaded innocent to two counts of first-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, morphine, morphine sulfate, oxycodone, oxycotin and methadone; two counts of third-degree burglary; two counts of third-degree grand larceny; and two counts of petit larceny.
The charges stem from alleged burglaries at the CVS pharmacy and the A&P; supermarket, both in Margaretville.
Delhi lawyer Richard Gumo is representing Galunas.
