NORWICH – A Norwich man accused of being responsible for a rash of petty crimes appeared in court to face the felony charge against him.

Terry L. Sturdevant Jr., 20, of 23 Silver St., Norwich, is charged with second degree burglary and petit larceny. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

“Before being picked up on this current charge, the defendant was responsible for a local crime spree, having been arrested about six times in a month,” said District Attorney Joseph McBride.

Police arrested Sturdevant six times in November; the final time landed him in jail on the 20th, where he has remained incarcerated since.
