    Lowville, NY- Ross J. Rowland, 21, of Castorland, has pleaded GUILTY to a
    charge of second-degree Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance, a
    class A-2 felony.

    The plea was taken and a sentence handed down at an August 15 appearance
    in Lewis County Court, with acting Judge John H. Crandall presiding, after Judge
    Daniel R. King recused himself from the case. The case was originally scheduled
    for an August 31 appearance with Judge Crandall, which was apparently moved
    to August 15.

    After accepting the plea, Judge Crandall then sentenced Mr. Rowland to serve a
    3-year term in State prison, followed by a 5-year term of parole, according to the
    court. He was recommended to participate in the State prison system's Shock
    Incarceration program, a substance-abuse treatment program involving six
    months of a military-style boot camp incarceration with the remainder of the
    sentence completed on parole. Mr. Rowland was additionally ordered to pay
    $375 in court fees and will receive a six-month suspension of his driver's license.

    Mr. Rowland was arrested on February 15, 2018, in the Town of New Bremen.
    We have no report on file from any police agency for the arrest.
