Pair face drug charges after stop on Thruway

Two people were arrested early Sunday morning on drug-related charges after a traffic stop on the Thruway.

State police stopped a car for traffic violations just before 2 a.m. The driver, 47-year-old Michael J. Rumrill of St. Andrews Drive in Clifton Park, allegedly had hypodermic needles. He was charged with a misdemeanor of criminally possessing a hypodermic instrument and released after being issued an appearance ticket.

The female passenger, 23-year-old Erica C. Melendez of Chrisler Avenue in Schenectady, allegedly had numerous small glassine envelopes containing heroin, according to police.

She was charged with the felonies of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. Melendez was arraigned in Coeymans Town Court and remanded to the Albany County Jail on $25,000 bail. She is scheduled to appear again in court on Thursday.
