JAMESTOWN MAN SENTENCED FOR DRUG POSSESSION

Todd Dalton, 39, of Jamestown, was sentenced Monday by Judge David Foley to four years in state prison with two years of post-release supervision after being convicted of fourth-degree attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class D felony. In March 2023, the Jamestown Police Department conducted a traffic stop and located suspected methamphetamine on Dalton. He pleaded guilty to the charge in January.

Additionally, Dalton was on felony probation for charges out of Cattaraugus County for a conviction of third-degree attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class C felony in August 2022. Dalton violated the terms of his probation after being arrested, he admitted the violation of probation and was sentenced to a term of four years in state prison to be served concurrently.

Dalton was sentenced as a non-violent predicate felon due to having more than one conviction in 10 years. District Attorney Jason Schmidt would like to “thank the Jamestown Police Department for their hard work on this case.”
