A man accused of possession of both heroin and marijuana as a third or subsequent offense pleaded guilty to one of the charges in Albany County District Court today.
An Albany County man denied charges that he endangered his two young children by keeping marijuana and methamphetamine in the house that he shared with them.
Another meth dealer received 11 years of imprisonment not only for selling the drug but also for having a firearm by a person convicted of domestic violence.
Nationwide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports opioids such as OxyContin and Vicodin were involved in more than 33,000 overdose deaths in 2015.
