Albion man gets 4 years for having loaded gun, cocaine in car
ALBION – An Albion man was sentenced to 4 years in state prison this morning in Orleans County Court.
Corey Wilson, 20, pleaded guilty to attempted possession of a controlled substance in the third degree. He was charged after a traffic stop on July 21, 2025 in the town of Gaines. He allegedly had two containers of cocaine, including one with 2.17 ounces of cocaine, as well as a loaded gun.
Public Defender Joanne Best asked for less time in prison for Wilson, saying he is a young man with a family. As part of a plea agreement, he faced up to five years in prison. Best asked for 1 ½ or 2 years, plus 3 years of post-release supervision.
County Court Judge Sanford Church said Wilson was already on probation when he committed the crimes. The judge sentenced Wilson to four years in prison plus 1 ½ years of post-release supervision.
Wilson also needs to pay a $300 court surcharge, a $50 DNA fee, and $25 for a crime victims fee.
In other cases in court today:
• Christopher Bescherer, 44, of Albion was sentenced to 1 to 3 years in state prison for attempted aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. Bescherer was driving without a license when he was in a car accident.
He was twice on probation where it was revoked for not following the guidelines.
He also was fined $500 and needs to pay $438 n other court surcharges and fees.
• Glenn Quintern, 67, of Rochester pleaded guilty to fourth-degree grand larceny for his role in passing a fraudulent $5,500 certified check to Orleans Ford to buy a new pickup truck.
The truck was then delivered to Quintern’s residence when he lived in Batavia, and then taken the next day to New Jersey.
The pickup truck valued at $67,995. The scheme was orchestrated by Quintern’s ex-fiance. He admitted his role in handing off the fake check and then possessing the truck for the brief time.
He could face a 1 1/3 to 4-year sentence in state prison when he is sentenced on Nov. 18.
Quintern could have gone to trial, trying to convince a jury he didn’t realize the extent of the deception. But with second-degree grand larceny, he could have faced up to 15 years in prison if found guilty in a trial.
Quintern is being held in the county jail on $10,000 cash bail and $20,000 bond.
