NORWICH— A repeat felon accused of hiding 20 packets of heroin inside the county jail was sentenced to prison in Chenango County Court, and a homeless sex offender appeared in Norwich City Court and was remanded back to county jail.

• Conroy F. Robinson, 28, Norwich, was sentenced on Jan. 16 in Chenango County Court for drug related charges and sent to prison.

On July 8, 2014, Robinson was arrested for criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, a class B felony; assault in the second degree, a class D felony; tampering with physical evidence, a class E felony; and resisting arrest, a class A misdemeanor.

It is alleged Robinson was found to be in possession of 19 packets of cocaine following a traffic stop in the City of Norwich.
