West Virginia Man Pleads To Felony Charges

A West Virginia man who was living in Canton Township pleaded guilty to one of several felony charges in front of Judge Valarie Costanzo on Thursday. Charles Franklin Norris, 36 pleaded guilty to felony conspiracy to manufacture or deliver a controlled substance. Norris was sentenced to 6-23 months in jail. However, the District Attorney agreed to the Public Defender’s request that Norris serve the minimum six months of the sentence and that would  be served on electronic home monitoring with work release. Norris avoided several felony charges for prohibited possession of firearms and receiving stolen property. Costanzo granted the work release petition and Norris will report for his sentence on June 17.
