JAMESTOWN – Four people have been arrested on drug-related charges – including possession of heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine – following a traffic stop that took place early Tuesday morning on the east side of Jamestown.

According to JPD Captain Robert Samuelson, Jamestown Police stopped a vehicle on Stowe St. near the intersection with E. Second St. just before 4 a.m. Tuesday after allegedly observing a traffic violation.

The vehicle contained four occupants. Following an investigation, all four were arrested on various charges. The four individuals were:

  • The driver, 32 year-old Michelle N. King – Charged with Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance (7th degree) for allegedly possessing a quantity of methamphetamine;
  • Passenger, 34 year-old Tiffany A. Mahoney – Charged with 2 counts of Criminal Possession of Marijuana  Marihuana (4th degree), Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance (3rd degree) as she was found to allegedly possess 73 grams of marijuana and a quantity of methamphetamine and heroin;
  • Passenger, 22 year-old Jacob A. Trippy – Charged with 2 counts of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance (3rd degree) and Obstructing as he allegedly refused to follow the directions of officers on the stop and was found to allegedly possess methamphetamine and cocaine;
  • Passenger, 27 year-old Joshua T. Berg – Charged with one count of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance (3rd degree) and one count of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance (7th degree), as he was found to allegedly possess both methamphetamine and cocaine.

All subjects were taken into custody and arraigned in city court.

    The federal, state, county, n city police are doing a great job. They could use more help from all of us. You know when your neighbors have way too many visitors. People who come and stay 5 10 or 15 minutes and then go . the visitors are all skinny, texting on their phones pacing back and forth. Most of them don’t have cars they’re addicts. They are our children,brothers, sisters, and friends. This isn’t what they intended to have happen with their lives but after the first few times doesn’t matter anymore this is what they are. If you know somebody like that you think oh my God I don’t want them to go to jail that would be terrible. It will be a bad record put on their future. Let me tell you what they don’t have, a future, if they overdose. I lost my 23 year old son I much rather he was in jail right now.

    We can’t go around hating people that do drugs! This type of mentality is just plain ignorant! These people need our help! My nephew died of a heroine overdose earlier this year and I wish I would have been able to help him! These people are no different then any of you that pick up a bottle! We need places for these people to go to get the help they need! Public humiliation and criticism is not the way to go! And I noticed one of these individuals was charged for possession of marijuana! Get real! Don’t I wish all that kids were doing these days is smoking a little pot! So please people lets change the tone from hatred to caring!
