Bryan Man Cops Plea In Steuben Court

A Bryan man who was one of four per­sons arrested on metham­phet­a­mine related charges in drug bust back in April at a home near Hamil­ton entered into a plea agree­ment on Mon­day in Steuben Supe­rior Court.

34-year-old Joseph Cotrell pled guilty to a felony charge of aid­ing in the man­u­fac­ture of meth. Three other charges will be dis­missed if the plea agree­ment is accepted dur­ing a sen­tenc­ing hear­ing set for August 11th.

The plea agree­ment calls for a sen­tenc­ing cap of 30 years with the court to deter­mine the length of the sen­tence. Cotrell was sched­uled to go on trial on July 24th.
