Man Will Spend 7-Years Behind Bars On Felony Drugs, Weapons Conviction

MAYVILLE – A 29-year-old Jamestown man will spend seven years behind bars after he was convicted of felony drugs and weapons charges this week.

The Chautauqua County District Attorney’s Office announced the sentencing of Devonte Chandler.

During a traffic stop by New York State Troopers in 2020, it is alleged Chandler was found with a loaded Smith and Wesson M&P Shield, a bag containing cocaine and ecstasy, two bags containing fentanyl and heroin, a bag containing cocaine, and several items used for narcotics packaging and sale.

Chandler was previously convicted of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, both felonies.
