Youths busted for drugs at a 41-year-old’s apartment in Oxford
OXFORD– Investigating a loud noise complaint at an apartment complex, the Oxford Police Department arrested seven people including six teens and a 41-year-old after discovering narcotics at the residence and on a number of the occupants.
Police said the youths were arrested at the home of 41-year-old Patrick J. Gilbert at 16 Merchant St., Apartment 5, in the Village of Oxford at 8:30 p.m. Thursday.
Gilbert was charged with seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, endangering the welfare of a child and unlawful possession of marijuana. He was arraigned in Village of Oxford Court before Justice Charles K. Race and remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility on $5,000 cash bail or $20,000 property bond.
Village of Oxford Police Chief Richard Nolan said they believe Gilbert may have provided the substances to the teens and then used them with the youths.
Police also charged Dustin Manwarren, 19, of Oxford and Eli B. Law, 18, of Norwich, with seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of marijuana. Both were arraigned in Village of Oxford Court and released to a third party.
A 17-year-old male youth was also charged with seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of marijuana. He was released into the custody of his parents.
Three other minors, all male ages 14 to 17, were also charged in the incident with unlawful possession of marijuana and released into the custody of their parents.
“The investigating officer was overwhelmed with a potent smell of marijuana before the door to the residence was even opened,” said Nolan. “We discovered quantities of marijuana and crushed vicodin in the apartment and we also found quantities of marijuana and prescription pills on a number of the occupants.”
Vicodin is a prescription pain reliever sold in a hard pill form.
Nolan said police arrested all of the subjects found at the apartment and that all of them, some more severely than others, were under the influence of the illegal substances.
The Oxford police officer responding to the original call was forced to call in Nolan, another police officer and requested aid from the Sheriff’s Office in order to transport and process the subjects.
