A 69-year-old homeowner in Lyons has been arrested on a felony charge following a two-month investigation into alleged drug activity at his residence.
The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office took Albert A. Webber into custody on February 27 after executing a search warrant at his home on Canal Street. The investigation began after authorities received multiple complaints about suspicious activity at the property, where numerous individuals were reportedly seen coming and going frequently. Deputies determined that the location was being used for the sale of controlled substances.
The search warrant was carried out by the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Response Team, with support from the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team. Following the raid, Webber was charged with criminal nuisance in the first degree, a Class E felony. He was issued an appearance ticket and released.
Law enforcement officials say the investigation into narcotics activity at the residence remains ongoing.
