NORWICH – The current jury trial in Chenango County Court, involving Jose Iran Gonzalez, 48, of New Berlin, came to a close shortly after 4 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 14, 2015, and Gonzalez was found to be guilty on all counts.

It is alleged that at approximately 1:34 a.m. on Oct. 1 at the Howard Johnson's Hotel parking lot, located at 75 N. Broad St. in the City of Norwich, Gonzalez did knowingly and unlawfully possess 45 envelopes containing the narcotic drug heroin and 10 oblong white tablets marked “176” containing the narcotic drug dihydrocodeinone with acetaminophen, with the intent to sell.

Gonzalez, then 47, was originally charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, a class B felony; possession with intent to sell; criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, a class A misdemeanor; and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle in the third degree, a class A misdemeanor.

Chenango County Court faced Gonzalez with a four count indictment at the time of his trial. All four counts had to do with the illegal possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell.

The remaining witness testimonies were heard on Friday Sept. 11, with closing statements and a verdict being reached late Monday afternoon.

Four witness testimonies were heard throughout the duration of last Thursdays court proceedings.
