Stolen Firearm Arrests

In October 2020, the Oneida City Police Department received a report of a stolen firearm from a city resident. At the time of the report, members of the Oneida City Police Department were unable to generate any possible lead for the individual(s) who were responsible.

In the summer 2022, the case was reopened following a tip received pertaining to the investigation. Members of the Oneida City Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division conducted a lengthy and thorough investigation following the tip and identified two suspects.

The investigation revealed both suspects had acted in concert to steal the firearm, then unlawfully sold the firearm to a third party.

One of the suspects was identified as a 16-year-old, who at the time of the incident was 14 years old. The 16-year-old was charged in December 2022 and issued an appearance ticket directing them to appear in Madison County Probation Department. Due to the juvenile’s age, their name will not be released.

The second suspect was identified as 20-year-old Colin P. Chesebro, who at the time of the incident was 18 years old. On Jan. 12, 2023, Chesebro was arraigned in Oneida City Court on charges of third-degree criminal passion of a firearm and third-degree criminal sale of a firearm, both class D felonies; and fourth-degree grand larceny, third-degree criminal facilitation, fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property and fourth-degree conspiracy, all class E felonies.

Following arraignment, Chesebro was returned to Oneida County Jail, where he is being held for unrelated charges.

At this time, the stolen firearm has not been recovered. The investigation continues, and additional suspects and charges may be pursued.

The Oneida City Police Department thanks the city resident who came forward with information pertinent to this case.
