NORWICH – Two Norwich residents – one a suspected illegal alien – have been arrested on various charges after the execution of search warrants at two separate locations Friday morning.

During the early morning hours of March 27, the Norwich Police, Chenango County Sheriff’s Department and New York State Police Community Narcotics Enforcement Team and uniformed State Troopers entered residences at 31 Hickok Ave. and 72 Plymouth St. Because of the nature of the investigation, the Greene Police Department’s canine unit was also on the scene, assisting with the search warrants.

Arrested were Michael Victor, 28, and Curissa Jenkins, 20, both residents of 31 Hickok Ave. They are both charged with:

• Third degree criminal possession of a controlled substance (a Class B felony)

• Third degree criminal possession of marijuana (a Class E felony)

• Second degree criminally using drug paraphernalia (a Class A misdemeanor)

In addition, Victor is also charged with fourth degree criminal possession of a weapon, a Class A misdemeanor.

These arrests culminate an investigation into the sale of illegal substances in the City of Norwich. This investigation has been ongoing for approximately two months, according to police. Seized were quantities of crack cocaine, U.S. currency, a loaded firearm and vehicles. Police declined to specify what was seized from which house.
