NORWICH – The Chenango County grand jury met Wednesday and handed up a number of criminal indictments. At the proceeding, the District Attorney’s Office presents evidence against those they wish to prosecute. It is up to the jury to decide if there is enough reasonable cause to charge a person with a felony offense.

Those indicted by the grand jury are arraigned before the county or Supreme Court judge at a later date.

The grand jury indicted 17 people:

• Joshua W. Quinn, 19, and John W. Quinn, both of Sherburne, were indicted on two charges of third degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class B felony, one count of fifth degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class D felony, and one count of seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class A misdemeanor. It’s alleged that the Quinns, acting in concert, did knowingly and unlawfully possess approximately 19 grams of the narcotic Dihydrocodeineone – with Acetaminophen – on or about November 12 in the Town of Norwich.
