Four people were charged after law enforcement searched a residence at 402 Main St. in Ogdensburg on a Monday evening and seized cocaine, crack cocaine and $4,244 in cash.
The Ogdensburg Police Department carried out the search with assistance from the St. Lawrence County Drug Task Force, NYSP VGNet and the St. Lawrence County District Attorney’s Office. Police seized about 19.5 ounces of cocaine and crack cocaine, according to the reported case details.
Charged with first-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance were Pamela, 45; Jacob, 42; and Roger, 40, all of Ogdensburg; and Amara, 21, of the Bronx.
All four were arraigned in Ogdensburg City Court and remanded to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility by Judge Marcia LeMay. The charges are accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
The St. Lawrence County Drug Task Force is sponsored and led by the St. Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office and works with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. Ogdensburg police reported 618 arrests in 2025, an increase of 119 from 2024. The department also reported responding to 46 overdoses in 2025, compared with 51 the previous year.
The arrests follow a June 6, 2026, search-warrant operation at 11 Grove St. in Ogdensburg and a 17-ounce powder-cocaine seizure in Morristown in October 2025.
Follow-up information may be obtained from the Ogdensburg Police Department, the St. Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office or the St. Lawrence County District Attorney’s Office.
