CANTON — Two St. Lawrence County men were arrested for drug possession Tuesday morning, according to state police.

Troopers said they were responding to 37-year old James R. Petrie’s residence on an unrelated matter when they located Petrie and another person passed out inside a vehicle.

Police said they charged Petrie with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Joseph A. Morrow, 40, was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, four counts of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and criminal possession of drug paraphernalia, officers said.

The two suspects were found in possession of crystal methamphetamine, a quantity of pills which were determined to be buprenorphine hydrochloride and alprazolam, as well as a quantity of cocaine.

Morrow was virtually arraigned by Oswegatchie Town Court and remanded to St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility without bail.

Petrie was released on an appearance ticket.
