Man sentenced to 2 years in state prison for cocaine possession
ALBION – A Lockport man, formerly of Rochester, was sentenced to two years in state prison today after he was found to have cocaine and crack cocaine during a traffic stop in Barre.
Corey Weathers pleaded guilty to criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree on Oct. 18.
He was given the maximum sentence as part of a plea agreement.
Weathers was stopped on Route 31A (West Lee Road) in Barre on Nov. 22, 2022. Law enforcement found two bags with a white powder that was confirmed to be cocaine, District Attorney Joe Cardone said in a previous court appearance.
Weathers is a second-felony offender. He was sentenced by County Court Judge Sanford Church.
In another case, a Medina man, 21, pleaded guilty to attempted criminal sexual act in the first degree.
When the man was 15 or 16 an 8-year-old girl performed oral sex on him. The incident wasn’t disclosed by the victim until several years later, said John Sansone, assistant DA.
The man could face state prison or he could be sentenced as a youthful offender and get probation. If he is a youthful offender, his name shouldn’t be disclosed publicly.
