MARGARETVILLE, N.Y. (WBNG) —Delaware County District Attorney Shawn Smith announced a Margaretville man has been sentenced to State Prison for drug crimes.
The District Attorney’s Office said Dennis Fickeria, 43, of Margaretville, NY has been sentenced to four and half years in prison. Fickeria was originally charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance.
On Jan. 3rd, according to Senior Investigator Christopher Erwin and other members of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office, they executed a search warrant at 1542 Jones Hollow Rd., Fickeria’s residence. As a result of the search, deputies found controlled substances and firearms.
On Oct. 28, the office said Fickeria appeared in court where he pled guilty to his charge. Fickeria admitted that he had possessed fentanyl intending to sell it. The office said the guilty plea was entered as part of a negotiated disposition.
In addition to the sentencing, the office said Delaware County Court Judge John Hubbard ordered Fickeria to be supervised by the Department of Parole for one year following his release.
The office said the court also forfeited the U.S. currency seized from Fickeria’s residence which it will use to fund law enforcement efforts in Delaware County.
