\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>An early morning tactical raid on a suspected methamphetamine lab shut down its operations just after\u00a04 AM\u00a0this morning.<\/p>\n

A joint narcotics investigation by Madison County Sheriff\u2019s and City of Oneida Police Investigators led to the execution of a search warrant early\u00a0Friday\u00a0morning on Washington Ave in the City of Oneida.\u00a0 When the Sheriff\u2019s Special Operations Unit (SWAT) team made entry to the second floor of a two story, two family residence, they made quick work to take three adults into custody\u00a0and found a significant amount of evidence that confirmed the existence of an active methamphetamine lab.\u00a0 The first-floor resident was interviewed and not in danger during the raid.<\/p>\n

Sheriffs and Police Investigators have arrested John J. Whaley, 41, Kelly J. Franklin, 34, and Patrick D. Crane, 29, all of Oneida.\u00a0 Whaley and Franklin were also both involved in another meth lab incident involving the NYS Police in the Town of Lenox earlier this summer.<\/p>\n

Sheriff\u2019s investigators charged Whaley with 1 count of Unlawful Disposal of Meth Lab Materials (E Felony); 1 count Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance 3rd\u00a0Degree with intent to sell (B Felony); 2 counts of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance 7th\u00a0Degree (A Misdemeanor); 2 counts of Criminal Use of Drug Paraphernalia 2nd\u00a0Degree (A Misdemeanor); 1 count Criminal Possession of Meth Manufacturing Materials 2nd\u00a0Degree (A Misdemeanor); 1 count of Criminal Possession of Precursors of Methamphetamine (E Felony); 1 count of Manufacturing Methamphetamine 3rd\u00a0Degree (D Felony); and 1 count of tampering with physical evidence (E Felony). Additional charges are pending laboratory examination by the NYS Police Crime Lab in Albany.<\/p>\n

Crane has been charged with one count of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance 7th\u00a0Degree (A Misdemeanor).\u00a0 He was processed and released on an appearance ticket, due back in Oneida City Court at a later date to answer charges.<\/p>\n

Oneida City Police have charged Franklin with 1 count Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance 3rd\u00a0Degree with intent to sell (B Felony); 2 counts of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance 7th\u00a0Degree (A Misdemeanor); 2 counts of Criminal Use of Drug Paraphernalia 2nd\u00a0Degree (A Misdemeanor); 1 count Criminal Possession of Meth Manufacturing Materials 2nd\u00a0Degree (A Misdemeanor); 1 count of Criminal Possession of Precursors of Methamphetamine (E Felony); and 1 count of Manufacturing Methamphetamine 3rd\u00a0Degree (D Felony).\u00a0 Additional charges are pending laboratory examination by the NYS Police Crime Lab in Albany.<\/p>\n

Both Whaley and Franklin will be arraigned this morning at Oneida City Court.<\/p>\n
