Five people face drug charges following an early Saturday morning traffic stop on Interstate 490 in Victor.
Police pulled over the car driven by Victoria Scharett, of Ovid, because it had broken safety glass, no plate lamp, and no turn signal. A check of Scharett’s license revealed she had an outstanding warrant from the Seneca County Sheriff’s Office.
During the course of the roadside investigation, deputies located several controlled substances within the car along with drug paraphernalia.
44-year-old Jerimiah Hall, of Waterloo and 40-year-old Jessica Dyson, of Seneca Falls, were each charged with three counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, while 53-year-old Jason Osgood, of Phelps, 45-year-old Brett Wells, of Cato, and Scharett were each charged with two counts.
Scharett was taken into custody and turned over to the Seneca County Sheriff’s Office on her warrant while the other four were released on appearance tickets.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
