Police say she was intoxicated; two others face drug charges

A New Lisbon woman called her mother after deputies
arrested her and two others on drug charges Tuesday,
deputies said.
The mother was arrested after she showed up at the
scene in an intoxicated state.
Michelle Slonaker, 22, and her boyfriend, Andrew
J. Wilson, 30, were arrested at their house at 367 Turnbull
Road in Mount Vision. They were charged with
second-degree criminal possession of marijuana, a
felony, and misdemeanor charges of seventh-degree
criminal possession of a controlled substance and
criminally possessing a hypodermic needle, deputies
said. Wilson was also charged with unlawful growing
of cannabis by an unlicensed person.
Christopher J. Elliot, 27, of Middletown, was
charged with second-degree criminal possession of
marijuana and criminal possession of a hypodermic
needle, deputies said.
Slonaker’s mother, Deborah Slonaker, 48, was arrested
for driving while intoxicated when she came to
the house after being notified of the arrest.
Deputies started their investigation after they went
to the house last week while searching for a wanted
person. There was a strong smell of marijuana there
and drug paraphernalia in plain sight, deputies said.
When they went there Tuesday, they discovered marijuana
growing indoors and other drugs, according to a
media release.
Items seized included 49 marijuana plants, a triple
beam balance, growing lights and other equipment,
three pounds of marijuana, two ounces of hallucinogenic
mushrooms, hypodermic syringes, and a small
quantity of heroin, methadone and clonazepam, deputies
said.
The three who were arrested on drug charges were
each arraigned in New Lisbon Town Court and sent to
Otsego County jail.
Bail was set at $7,500 for Wilson and Slonaker and
at $5,000 for Elliot, deputies said. The mushrooms
were sent to the state police Forensic Investigation
Center in Albany for analysis, and additional charges
could be filed.
Deborah Slonaker was released to appear at a later
date, deputies said.
