AUBURN - A local man accused of posing as a member of the Cayuga County District Attorney's Office while in the Cayuga County Jail, pleaded not guilty in Cayuga County Court Thursday to 11 identity theft related charges stemming from two separate incidents.
Eduardo Camacho or “Eddie Cruz,” 34, of 10669 Jordan Road, Cato, pleaded not guilty to forgery, four counts of possession of a forged instrument, identity theft and conspiracy, all felonies, and to the misdemeanor crimes of criminal mischief, criminal impersonation of a public official, conspiracy and unlawful possession of personal information.
Camacho and two co-defendants, Jessi L. Vasquez, 19, Joshua M. Abrams, 20, both of 656 School St., Skaneateles Falls, are accused of posing as a member of the district attorney's office and calling county residents to gather their personal information in an attempt to raise $5,000 for Camacho's bail in March.
Camacho was already in jail fighting charges from the possession of a stolen credit card in February 2007.
Also in court:
• A Buffalo man was sentenced to five years in prison with five years post release supervision for possessing nearly 2 pounds of cocaine.
The drugs were discovered when officers from the New York State Police stopped Jermaine Williams, 23, of 423 Lisbon St., Buffalo, for speeding on Dec. 13, 2007.
During the stop, troopers smelled marijuana in the car and searched the vehicle, finding 897 grams of cocaine.
• An Auburn man received a three-year shock camp eligible prison sentence with two years post release supervision for selling cocaine.
If James Oliver, 26, of 34 Washington St., Auburn, completes the camp, he will be eligible for an early release from prison.
• An Auburn man was sentenced to two to four years in prison for threatening two people with a pitchfork April 1, 2006.
Cleveland Boswell, 39, of 4 Orchard St., Apartment 4, Auburn, was previously convicted on April 1 of stealing a car from Frontenac Park in Union Springs after he punched and kicked the driver.
• A Groton man was sentenced to time already served in jail with five years probation for selling OxyContin Pills.
Scott Stockton, of 423 Spring St., Groton, was also ordered to pay $420 in restitution.
