Sentences handed down in drug dealing cases
A Warren man and a Corry woman were both sentenced Friday on charges of possession with the intent to deliver.
David N. Curry, 55, North Warren, was sentenced to 39 to 78 months incarceration in state prison by Judge Gregory Hammond.
“On July 30, 2022, detectives from the Warren County Drug Task Force conducted a search warrant on a residence located at 129 Jackson Run Road in Conewango Township,” according to a Task Force release.
“Detectives had investigated the sale of methamphetamine from within the home for several months. The resident, David Curry… was arrested and charged… after the search yielded methamphetamine, prescription medications, and US currency.”
According to the affidavit of probable cause, controlled buys were conducted in which Curry allegedly exchanged methamphetamine for cash.
An informant notified task force agents that “Curry did possess, and was distributing methamphetamine recently purchased from Erie,” according to the affidavit.
Curry’s attorney, Chief Public Defender Kord Kinney noted that Curry has a low risk to reoffend as well as a “long, consistent work history” as well as a lengthy criminal record.
Kinney said that Curry takes accountability for his actions.
Curry declined to comment when given the opportunity to do so.
Hammond noted that Curry has a “history of violating county parole” and that consecutive state sentences was appropriate.
Curry was then sentenced to 24 to 48 months in state prison on the count of possession with intent to deliver as well as $725 in fees, to undergo drug and alcohol and mental health evaluations and comply with recommendations and submit a DNA sample. He was given credit for 224 days time served. He was sentenced to an additional 15 to 30 months on a count of criminal use of a communications facility.
Taylor Daley, 25, Corry, was also sentenced Friday on a count of possession with intent to deliver.
Her attorney, Elizabeth Feronti, said her client has dealt with addiction since she was 12-years-old and needs another drug and alcohol assessment to develop a treatment plan and “let her take the next steps.”
Daley said she has realized that her actions are hurting others as well and apologized.
Hammond agreed with the need for an evaluation, given that she “left bail supervision for a couple months” and tested positive for several substances.
The evaluation, he told Daley, would ensure services are “in place” for a “solid parole plan.”
He then sentenced Daley to 10 months to two years less one day, one year probation, $725 in fees, to undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation and comply with mental health recommendations and 30 hours of community service along with work release and early reentry. Hammond gave her credit for 241 days and also sentenced her to one year probation, $100 and 10 hours of community service on a count of possession of drug paraphernalia.
