BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – An Endicott man is expected to spend the next ten years in New York State prison.
Broome County District Attorney Paul Battisti announced that on March 13, Phillip Alvarez III of Endicott appeared in court and pleaded guilty to Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Third Degree and Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree.
The charges stem from a July 2, 2024, search warrant execution by the Broome County Special Investigations Unit Task Force at a residence located at 341 Main Street in the Village of Endicott. During the search, investigators seized money, ammunition, a loaded RG-IND .22 caliber revolver that was found on Alvarez's person, 148.83 grams of cocaine, a loaded Taurus 9mm handgun, and digital scales. As part of his guilty plea, Alvarez also forfeited $5,566 in drug proceeds.
As part of a plea agreement, Alvarez will be sentenced to ten years in state prison followed by five years of post-release supervision for the drug charge. He will also receive a seven-year prison sentence followed by five years of post-release supervision for the weapons charge. The sentences will run concurrently.

The successfulprosecution of this case is a direct result of the hard work by the law enforcement agenciesand prosecutors involved in his case. Our office remains committed to ensuring that thosewho threaten public safety are held accountable,' said Battisti.
