GREENE – Police discovered a man slumped over in an illegally parked vehicle in the Village of Greene on Thursday, and after a brief investigation discovered 16 grams of suspected heroin in his possession.

According to Greene Police Department Officer In Charge Michael Nordberg, at approximately 7 a.m. on Thursday May 27 on Madison Street in the Village of Greene, an individual was spotted slumped over in a vehicle which was illegally parked.

Nordberg said after approaching the vehicle, spotting a meth pipe in the cupholder, and pulling the individual out of the vehicle, he discovered heroin in their pants pockets.

Christopher Fuller, 27, of Oxford was identified and charged with fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class C felony.

“It started off as something kind of simple, basically just parking illegally, but after a brief investigation it led to something much more serious,” said Nordberg. “This is one of the larger drug busts that’s occurred in the Village of Greene.”
