First Assistant District
Attorney Carmelo M. Laquidara announced today that Kervin Tribble, 36, of Cohoes,
New York plead guilty to Attempted Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance in
the Third Degree, a class “C’ felony on June 5, 2013 and failed to appear for
sentencing. A bench warrant was issued
for the defendant and he was subsequently arrested by the United States
Marshall’s Service.
The defendant pled
guilty as part of a plea bargain under which he would receive a sentence of three
and one half years in state prison.
Because the defendant failed to appear for sentencing, at the request of
the District Attorney’s Office, Honorable Andrew Ceresia increased the
defendant’s sentence to five and one half years in state prison. The defendant will also serve 3 years of Post
Release Supervision.
The defendant was
charged with a series of cocaine sales after an investigation by the Troy
Police Department Special Investigations Unit. Assistant District Attorney Michael Shanley prosecuted
this case.
