A Schuyler County man indicted last November on drug charges in Yates County has been sentenced to prison.

30-year-old Jared Wardwell, of Alpine, was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty in Yates County Court to a felony charge of criminal possession of a controlled substance, which was methamphetamine.

The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
