By the ClickNNY North Country Desk
A drug-possession case is scheduled for a jury trial Sept. 14 in St. Lawrence County Court.
Court records identify the defendant as John Cosores, about 61, charged with two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a Class B felony that includes possession of a narcotic drug with intent to sell.
The charges arise from a July 11, 2025 incident. Cosores was arrested the same day by the State Police in Wilmington and has pleaded not guilty. The case is before Judge Gregory P. Storie.
A trial date is a scheduled court appearance and may be adjourned or otherwise resolved before a trial is held.
Charges are allegations. Everyone is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
