Jury Finds Olean Man Guilty

A jury has found an Olean man guilty of drug possession following a four-day trial in Cattaraugus County Court.

46-year-old Elliott James had crack cocaine on February 25, 2008, on Bishop Street in Olean and intended to sell it.

He's already serving an eight-year prison sentence for drug possession, so when he's sentenced on July 20 it will be as a second felony offender.

District Attorney Ed Sharkey tried the case and credited the Southern Tier Regional Drug Task Force and a confidential informant for the successful prosecution.
