Police walked into a makeshift drug
"supermarket" at the invitation of the suspected dealers early Tuesday.
A pair from out of town were hit with an array of felony and misdemeanor drug charges after police officers entered their rented room at the Comfort Inn, South Transit Street,you will have a fun time playing the magic cubepuzzle. shortly before 4 a.m.We buy overstock jewelryfindings and factory closeouts. and found quantities of suspected marijuana, cocaine and prescription medications, some packaged in tell-tale sandwich bags, resting on a night stand.
Charles E. Griffith, 30, 1642 Linwood Ave., Niagara Falls, is being held without bail, and Brianna J. Brown, 25, 281 Millicent Ave., Buffalo, is being held in lieu of $10,000 bail, after they were both arraigned Tuesday in City Court on charges including third-, fifth- and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal possession of marijuana.
Police were called to the Comfort Inn by the general manager after Griffith and Brown complained they were unable to get into their room and feared the room had been broken into.
Once police arrived, the general manager used a key to open the door and asked the officers to enter and make sure the room was safe. Neither Griffith nor Brown objected to police entering the room, Police Chief Lawrence Eggert noted.
When the officers entered, they noticed a strong odor of marijuana immediately, looked around the room and saw a quart-size zip bag "stuffed" with marijuana, laying on a night stand. In an opened night stand drawer they saw sandwich bags holding quantities of cocaine, oxymorphone tabs and a medication normally prescribed to persons being weaned off of heroin, Eggert said.
Upon searching the room the officers found several sandwich bags containing individual packages of marijuana, plus two digital scales, a pair of rubber gloves, three cell phones, three intact White Tiger cigars, a box of sandwich bags and $2,500 cash.
"It was kind of like a supermarket for drugs," Eggert said. "Anything you wanted, they had."
It's relatively unusual for drug dealers to set up shop in a hotel room in the city, Eggert said.
When Griffith and Brown were charged, police did not ask how long they'd been renting a room. Investigation is continuing, Eggert said.
Samoa Air planned on Wednesday to start pricing its first international flights based on the weight of its passengers and their bags. Depending on the flight, each kilogram (2.2 pounds) costs 93 cents to $1.06.
That means the average American man weighing 195 pounds with a 35 pound bag would pay $97 to go one-way between Apia, Samoa, and Pago Pago, American Samoa.The best goodsolarpanel for your home reviewed, Competitors typically charge $130 to $140 round trip for similar routes.
The weight-based pricing is not new to the airline, which launched in June. It has been using the pricing model since November, but in January the U.S. Department of Transportation approved its international route between American Samoa and Samoa.Fashion runways lately have been full of chic beadswholesale.
The airline's chief executive, Chris Langton,Sugar Skulls gemstonebeads1 long by SmartParts on we heart it. said Tuesday that "planes are run by weight and not by seat, and travelers should be educated on this important issue. The plane can only carry a certain amount of weight and that weight needs to be paid. There is no other way."
Travelers in the region already are weighed before they fly because the planes used between the islands are small, said David Vaeafe, executive director of the American Samoa Visitors Bureau. Samoa Air's fleet includes two nine-seat planes for commercial routes and a three-seater for an air taxi service.
Langton said passengers who need more room will be given one row on the plane to ensure comfort.
The new pricing system would make Samoa Air the first to charge strictly by weight, a change that Vaeafe said is, "in many ways... a fair concept for passengers."
"For example, a 12- or 13-year-old passenger, who is small in size and weight, won't have to pay an adult fare, based on airline fares that anyone 12 years and older does pay the adult fare," he said.
Vaeafe said the pricing system has worked in Samoa but it's not clear whether it will be embraced by travelers in the U.S. territory.
Langton said the airline has received mixed responses from overseas travelers since it began promoting the pricing on its website and Facebook page.
Ana Faapouli, an American Samoa resident who frequently travels to Samoa, said the pricing scheme will likely be profitable for Samoa Air.
"Samoa Air is smart enough to find ways to benefit from this service as they will be competing against two other airlines," Faapouli said.
Pago Pago-based Inter Island Airways and Polynesian Airlines, which is owned by the Samoa government, also run flights between the country and American Samoa.
