NORWICH – A 33-year-old Norwich man sits in the local jail without bail and stands accused of numerous crimes.

The Norwich Police Department reported that a Bordon Avenue resident filed a complaint at approximately 10:51 p.m., Saturday, April 8, 2017, reporting a suspicious individuals was observed on both the caller’s property, and the caller’s neighbor’s property.

“While officers were patrolling the area, they were flagged down by a victim that lived on Lee Avenue,” read a release from the NPD. “The victim had actually chased the suspect from their property. The victim reported the suspect had been inside a parked vehicle and the suspect had also attempted to enter a locked garage.”

Officers with the NPD later located the subject allegedly attempting to enter a shed on Berry Street in Norwich.

Following a foot pursuit, the man was taken into custody and held in lockup at the police station pending arraignment.

Steven A. Cutting, of 3 River Street Trailer Park, Norwich, was charged with resisting arrest, a Class A misdemeanor; petit larceny, a class A misdemeanor; and trespass, a violation.

Then, at approximately 8:34 a.m., Sunday, April 9, the NPD received a burglary complaint from a business on Borden Avenue.

“An employee had arrived to work that morning and found the business had been burglarized and that there had been damage done inside the building,” read the department’s release.

An investigation ensued and police said Cutting was also responsible for this second complaint.

As Cutting was already in the custody of the NPD, he was arrested on the additional charges of burglary in the third degree, a class D felony; criminal mischief in the third degree, ad class E felony; and possession of burglar’s tools, a class A misdemeanor.

Cutting was arraigned in Norwich City Court before Judge James E. Downey at approximately 2:30 p.m., Sunday, April 9, 2017.

He was remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility without bail and is to reappear in City Court on Thursday, April 13, 2017.

“The second complaint involving the burglary of the business is still an open investigation,” said Norwich Police Chief Rodney Marsh. “There was a second individual involved and an additional arrest is pending.” Marsh commended night shift officers, day shift officers, and the department’s detective in their cooperation on the case.

Cutting is presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law.
