— GLENS FALLS -- A golf pro from Warren County may have sold cocaine at golf tournaments he participated in at Westport, Moriah, Schroon Lake and Ticonderoga.
Vincent S. Pace, 57, of Glens Falls, pleaded guilty to felony third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance this week in Warren County Court.
The charge stems from his arrest for allegedly selling cocaine to a confidential informant in Glens Falls last year. He is not charged with any drug sales on golf courses. That allegation was made by the informant, who told police Pace said he made the sales when he played in the golf tournaments.
When Pace is sentenced Feb. 27, he is to receive five years in state prison and two years on parole.
