NORWICH – A trio of convicted felons were sentenced in county court Wednesday, while another 11 pleaded not guilty to the felony and misdemeanor charges brought against them.

• Stephen M. Wright, 20, Norwich, was originally charged in November of 2011 with three felonies including first degree robbery, a class B felony; second degree assault, a class D felony; and third degree conspiracy, a class D felony, in addition to one count of fourth degree criminal possession of a weapon, a class A misdemeanor, in connection with a robbery and assault that occurred in a secluded area of the railroad tracks between Mitchell and Rexford streets.

On Wednesday, Wright was sentenced to five years in state prison, with five years post release supervision, and must pay restitution in the amount of approximately $200.

In court, Wright apologized for his actions and blamed his drug addiction for the crime. He added he “didn’t care” at the time and plans to use his time in prison to better himself, to come back “a better person.”

• Thomas Plows, 21, Brookfield, was indicted in August of 2011 on charges of third degree burglary – a class D felony – and petit larceny, in connection with an incident on June 13 in the Town of North Norwich. It was alleged at that time that Plows broke into a barn located on Church Hill Road and stole motorcycle parts and a metal cabinet.
