Second man involved in Le Roy meth case enters guilty plea in federal court

By Howard B. Owens

A second man involved in a "particularly dangerous" type of methamphetamine production has entered a guilty plea in federal court.

Christopher L. Williams, 33, of 8 Erie St., Le Roy, faces up to a year in prison or a fine of $100,000 or both after his guilty plea to unlawful possession of methamphetamine.

His apparent partner, Nicholas P. Sadwick, 24, of Le Roy, entered a guilty plea on charges stemming from the same case last month.

Both men were arrested a year ago after a residence they were using was raided by members of the Local Drug Enforcement Task Force.

The manufacturing method used involved batteries -- a method unique among all of the other meth lab busts in 2010 -- which Deputy Chief Jerome Brewster described at the time as "particularly dangerous."

In a press release today, the U.S. Attorney's Office said investigators found a baggie and a Mason jar, both containing clear liquid that was found to contain methamphetamine.

Outside the residence, investigators found an Icy Hot pack that had been ripped open.

"These items are common materials used in the production and clandestine manufacture of methamphetamine," the release said.

Williams admitted to possessing methamphetamine for personal use.

Sentencing is set for 11 a.m., July 11, in federal court in Buffalo.
