MEDINA – Three people who were arrested July 6 after an investigation into the sale and distribution of crack cocaine in Medina all appeared in Orleans County Court on Monday.
The following were arraigned for third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance: Erika H. Poole, 36, of Salt Works Road in Medina; Calvin S. Carver, 27, of Salt Works Road in Medina; and Harold D. Hill Jr., 38, of Pine Street in Lockport.
Poole faces the additional charge of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
The three are currently inmates in the Orleans County Jail on $50,000 bail. Carver will be fully arraigned after completing paperwork to see if he qualifies for the public defender’s office and assigned counsel.
