Three charged with felonies in weekend drug bust
NORWICH – Three people remain in the city lock-up following the execution of a pair of search warrants at apartments located at 41-45 North Broad St. by the Norwich City Police Department Saturday.
According to Police Chief Joseph Angelino, the department was assisted by the Chenango County Sheriff’s Office in an investigation – and subsequent search – of the manufacture, packaging, sale and possession of illegal narcotics. Said the police chief, “This was a team effort by both agencies that involved complex techniques and long hours of investigation and surveillance.”
Police confiscated quantities of ‘crack’ cocaine, heroin, prescription drugs and other property, said Angelino.
Two of the individuals, Tonya Renee Jenkins, 42, of 41-45 North Broad St., and Timothy R. Armstrong, 20, of 27 Squires Ave., Endicott, were charged with fourth degree conspiracy, a class E felony, two counts of third degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class B felony, seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and endangering the welfare of a child, both class A misdemeanors.
Jenkins was also charged with first degree criminal nuisance, a class E felony.
A third individual, Darian E. Lewis, 25, of 144 North Terrance Ave., Mount Vernon, was charged with two counts of third degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class B felony, endangering the welfare of a child and seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, both misdemeanors.
Three others were charged with a number of misdemeanors, issued appearance tickets and released following the department’s execution of the search warrant, according to police.
Rufus Romeo Brown, 36, no address, was charged with first degree loitering for the purpose of unlawfully using or possessing a controlled substance, a class B misdemeanor, and seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class A misdemeanor.
Betty Ann Hughes, 52, of 41-45 North Broad St., was charged with first degree criminal nuisance, a class E felony, as well as seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and fifth degree criminal possession of stolen property, both class A misdemeanors.
A 16-year-old youth, whose name was not released, was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana.
Police began the investigation following a number of complaints issued by residents and business owners in the immediate area of the North Broad Street apartments, according to Angelino. Complaints included the odor of illegal drugs, as well as visits by non-residents frequenting the apartments at various times, both day and night.
“People who engage in this type of behavior need to learn this is a small town and this activity sticks out like a sore thumb and won’t be tolerated,” added Angelino.
Additional charges may be filed following an upcoming conference with the Chenango County District Attorney’s Office.
