Description
Defendant was initially charged by felony complaint with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree (Penal Law § 220.06 [5]). In addition thereto, in separate accusatory instruments, defendant was charged with unlawful possession of marihuana (Penal Law § 221.05), exposure of a person (Penal Law § 240.01) and a violation of Poughkeepsie City Ordinance § 14-5 (2). Following reduction of the felony complaint to the misdemeanor of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree (Penal Law § 220.03), defendant entered a plea of guilty to same in satisfaction of all charges. Defendant contends on appeal that the reduction of the felony complaint was improper since the court failed to make a proper inquiry as to whether the facts and evidence provide a basis for charging the non-felony offense (see CPL 180.50).
