Watertown man sentenced to prison for drug charges

SYRACUSE, New York (WWNY) – A Watertown man is going to prison after pleading guilty to drug charges.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Syracuse said 44-year-old Stuart Chambers was sentenced in federal court on Thursday.

According to officials, Chambers pleaded guilty to attempted possession of methamphetamine and cocaine with intent to resell.

They say he admitted to traveling to Syracuse on Jan. 30 and presumably purchasing a pound of methamphetamine and nine ounces of cocaine to distribute the supplies.

According to officials, he also admitted that he had previously been convicted in federal court in Pennsylvania for possession of controlled substances with the intent to resell.

In addition to his 10-year prison sentence, Chambers was sentenced to an additional 24 months in prison for violating the terms of probation related to his previous offense.

Chambers will also serve an eight-year suspended sentence after his release from prison.
