NORWICH – A Norwich man was sentenced on drug charges following his arrest that occurred at a residence on Grove Avenue on Sept 7, 2016.

Chenango County Court convened before Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr. on Monday to hear the matter of Devan A. Ellsworth.

Ellsworth was present with his attorney Scott Clippinger for this matter. Assistant District Attorney Laura Parker was present on behalf of the people of Chenango County.

Ellsworth was originally arrested on September 7, 2016, while The City of Norwich Police Department, in conjunction with the Chenango County Sheriff's Office conducted a 'no knock' search warrant at 42 Grove Ave, apt A in the City of Norwich.

Authorities said that during the execution of both search warrants, several ‘One-Pot’ meth cooking containers were located at both locations.

Because of the dangerous chemicals involved with the manufacturing of meth, the Norwich Police requested the assistance of the New York State Police – CCERT (Contaminated Crime Scene Emergency Response Team).
