The Sheriff’s Department was able to catch up with the car in Seneca Falls that 28-year-old Brianna Velez, of Waterloo, and 23-year-old Matthew Garneau were able to flee the scene in. During the investigation, deputies say they found a quantity of suspected Fentanyl from Garneau’s car along with other drug paraphernalia.
Velez and Garneau are each charged with petit larceny and criminal possession of a controlled substance.
