NORWICH – Norwich Police Department concluded an investigation into the sale of cocaine in the City of Norwich on Tuesday resulting in the arrest of four individuals.
Alan S. Banks II, Steven A. White, Amanda L. Strozier, and David L. Button Jr. were arrested Tuesday morning after police say they conducted a no-knock search warrant at an apartment located at 29 Silver Street at 6:12 a.m.
“Throughout the months of November and December, we were able to gather enough evidence to apply for a search warrant and make this a successful arrest of individuals that were bringing narcotics into our community,” said NPD Detective Reuben Roach.
According to police, Banks, 50, and Button, 38, were each taken into custody at 29 Silver Street and White, 31, and Strozier, 29, were taken into custody shortly after at separate residences. All four of the accused are residents of Norwich.
Banks and White are each charged with criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, alleging that each knowingly and unlawfully sold cocaine. Banks is also charged with criminal nuisance in the first degree, a class E felony.
Strozier stands accused of criminal nuisance in the first degree, a class E felony, and Button Jr. is charged with loitering in the first degree.
NPD Sergeant Christopher Rotundo said criminal nuisance in the first alleges that the accused knowingly conducted or maintained a premises, place, or resort where persons gathered for the purpose of engaging in an unlawful sale of controlled substances, and therefore derived a benefit from such unlawful conduct.
Banks, White, and Strozier were arraigned in Norwich City Court on Tuesday by the Hon. Judge James Downey. Banks and White were remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility in lieu of $10,000 bail each, and Strozier was remanded in lieu of $5,000 bail.
