CHENANGO COUNTY – A Norwich man is facing a burglary charge in Chenango County Court, and with a criminal history spanning approximately 40 years.

Marty Lewicki, of Norwich was charged with third-degree burglary, and third-degree criminal mischief.

Chenango County Court Judge Frank Revoir Jr. said Lewicki has several prior felony convictions including two violent felonies. In court on Monday, Revoir said Lewicki’s most recent conviction was in 2017 for criminal possession of stolen property, followed by two separate second-degree burglary charges in 2003, and a third-degree burglary charge in 1986.

Revoir said Lewicki had to be remanded based on the prior convictions, and that he qualifies as a potential persistent felon.

According to New York State Penal Law Section 70.10 someone who is labeled a persistent felony offender could see, “extended incarceration and life-time supervision.”
