Drug offenders, sex offenders, others, appear in County Court

NORWICH — Individuals facing various charges including drug possession, reckless endangerment, and grand larceny appeared in Chenango County Court Friday.

• Connie D. Hendrickson, Greene, came before the court with her lawyer Peter Orville to change her plea to guilty.

It was alleged that Hendrickson fired six shots from an SKS rifle at two individuals. While authorities said none of the bullets hit anyone, three hit a vehicle. She was initially charged with attempted murder, attempted assault in the first degree, reckless endangerment in the first degree, and reckless endangerment in the second degree.

As a result of an agreed upon disposition between Hendrickson’s attorney and Chenango County Assistant District Attorney Michael Ferrarese, if Hendrickson entered a guilty plea to the count of the class D felony of reckless endangerment in the first degree, she would receive an indeterminate sentence of one to three years in state prison.

In order for the plea to be valid, the first count of the indictment had to be dismissed by the court, which it was.

Hendrickson admitted that on or about Aug. 1, 2013 at approximately 2 p.m. in the Town of McDonough she did recklessly fire a rifle which created a grave risk to the victim.
