Police arrested 38 year-old Lindsey Harrison and charged him with fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. Harrison was also charged with possessing drug paraphernalia and tampering with physical evidence, as he attempted to flush the methamphetamine down the toilet upon entry of the home.
Harrison was arraigned in Ellicott Town Court and was committed to the County Jail in Mayville.
During the investigation police also located and charged a 17-year-old youth with fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, after the teen was found to have a narcotic medication without a prescription.
