ANNSVILLE, N.Y. – On February 27, a major drug bust in Annsville resulted in the arrest of two suspects, Ted A. Croniser, 53, and Jessica L. Centro, 38, after New York State Police (NYSP) executed a search warrant at 8422 Meadows Rd. Authorities seized 12 pounds of crystal methamphetamine, cocaine, over $400,000 in cash, eight long guns, and various drug paraphernalia including scales and packaging materials.
The operation involved the NYSP Troop D Violent Gang and Narcotics Enforcement Team, U.S. Marshals, Oneida County Sheriff’s Office, Utica Police Department, and Oneida County Probation, leading to the apprehension of Croniser at a residence on Glenridge Drive in Annsville.
During the arrest, Centro allegedly attempted to conceal Croniser and obstruct the law enforcement efforts, which led to her own arrest. Croniser faces felony charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance, while Centro is charged with felony hindering prosecution and misdemeanor obstruction of governmental administration.
Both suspects are being held at the Oneida County Jail, pending arraignment. Authorities indicate that additional charges could be forthcoming as the investigation continues.
