NORWICH – A Utica man was transported from State Prison to be sentenced on drug charges following his arrest in Norwich in 2014.

Chenango County Court convened before Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr. on Monday to hear the matter of Tevin Yakeen Brown, 21.

Brown was transported from New York State Prison where he is already serving a sentence of five years with five years post release supervision, out of the Oneida County Court for the charge of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree.

Brown was present with his attorney John Cameron for this matter. District Attorney Joseph A. McBride was present on behalf of the people of Chenango County.

Brown was originally arrested in October of 2014, while in the City of Norwich by members of the Norwich Police Department.

According to authorities at the time of the arrest, Brown was in possession of crack-cocaine and did intend to sell the narcotic drug.

Brown recently appeared in Chenango County Court back in November of 2015 due to a return on warrant.

The return on warrant charged Brown with the counts of a class B felony of criminal possession in the third degree; a class C felony of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree; and the class A misdemeanor of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree.

According to the District Attorney's Office, these criminal possession charges involved the drug cocaine.
