Gates Police say they want to remind people that nobody has legalized recreational marijuana yet in New York State, and selling it is still a crime.
The department says they seized more than two pounds of marijuana from a house on Shadywood Lane after serving a search warrant on two people who called to report they’d been robbed. Reginald Brunson and Tiffany Gardner, both in their 20s, had indeed been robbed inside their home. But police also saw there was drug activity going on inside the house.
They found Gardner was advertising marijuana for sale on social media, including photos of different varieties and a price list. They got a search warrant and seized the drugs and cash.
Both Brunson and Gardner are charged with felony criminal possession and other charges.
