Members of the Oswego County Sheriff’s Department discovered a large quantity of marijuana and cash, as well as an illegally possessed weapon, after executing a search warrant Friday morning for a house in Oswego County.
Robert Boom, 52, of Tug Hill Road, Oswego, was charged with first-degree possession of marijuana, a felony; criminal possession of a weapon, a misdemeanor; and the unlawful growing of cannabis, a misdemeanor and a violation of the Public Health Law.
“There was a tip received by the Oswego County Drug Task Force (team)which relayed the tip on to our department,” said Oswego County Sheriff Reuel Todd.
