Accused drug dealer faces a long time in jail

NORWICH – A man accused of selling drugs out of his parents’ home while on probation for drug possession appeared in county court Monday.

Corey A. Weidman pleaded not guilty to all charges against him. The time spent in court was brief and the prosecution filed paper work indicating they were preparing to go to trial.

The court did not modify its bail and remanded Weidman to the Chenango County Correctional Facility in lieu of $500,000 cash bail. Since Weidman had violated his original probation, he is not eligible for release even if bail was posted.

Weidman, 22, Merchant Street, Oxford, is accused of three counts of third degree criminal sale of a controlled substance (Class B felony), one count of third degree criminal possession of a controlled substance (Class B felony), two counts of third degree criminal possession of a weapon (Class D felony), seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and second degree criminal use of drug paraphernalia. If convicted of all the felony charges, Weidman could face living most of his life in prison.
