One person faces up to a year in the Chenango County Correctional Facility and another is now awaiting trial after making their pleas in Chenango County Court on Friday.

Dequay Shoulders, a 30-year-old a Syracuse resident, pled not guilty before being remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility on $25,000 cash bail (or $150,000 property), on three charges - two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, class B felonies, as well as one count of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, a class A misdemeanor.

According to Shoulders' attorney, Susan Lettis, he “does want to the opportunity to work with probation” and “understands the severity of the charges and has respect for the court in the process.”
