GREENE – A man accused of possessing $100,000 worth of drugs and $22,000 in cash was released without bail Tuesday with officials citing New York State’s bail reform as the cause.
According to a report from Chenango County Sheriff Ernest Cutting, at around 3 a.m. on Sunday deputies were dispatched to a Mirabito gas station in the Village of Greene after a caller stated there was a man slumped in a vehicle slumped over the steering wheel nearby.
Cutting said shortly after arriving Philip S. Cosilmon was located slumped over the vehicle, and upon investigation and in plain view large quantities of drugs and cash were spotted in the vehicle.
After the vehicle was seized for further investigation, Cosilmon, 31, of Smithville was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class A felony.
