A Central Avenue resident who admitted last month to attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance, 3rd -- a drug-dealing charge -- will spend four years in state prison, Judge Robert C. Noonan ruled today.
Derek Leach, 31, of 29 Central Ave., Batavia, was arrested in March following a parole check of his residence.
When law enforcement searched the apartment, investigators reportedly found numerous bags of cocaine.
Leach was on parole at the time of his arrest and he entered a guilty plea Nov. 7.
Also arrested with Leach were Eric Williams, 45, of 219 Washington Ave., and Randy G. Leach II, 24, of 58 South Main St. The status of their cases is not available at this time.
