Meanwhile, prosecutors say 44-year-old Michael Carley of Johnson City and Anderson, South Carolina pleaded guilty to felony drug possession in Broome County Court.

Carley’s arrest came on January 20th of this year when Vestal Police conducted a traffic stop.  Police had stopped the vehicle driven by Carley for a suspended registration.

Authorities said they took Carley into custody due to a warrant on an unrelated charge and, as they were placing him under arrest, they say they found one-eighth of an ounce of methamphetamine.

The District Attorney’s Office says Carley will be sentenced to two years in New York State Prison followed by two years post-release supervision.  Sentencing has been scheduled for the end of November before Judge Joseph Cawley.
