JAMESTOWN, N.Y. (WIVB) — Two Chautauqua County residents are facing drug charges after a traffic stop in Jamestown.

Police in the city say 25-year-old Dunkirk resident Trevon Tripp was stopped at the intersection of E. 4th Street and Spring Street Thursday night around 10:30. Officers say it was determined that Tripp was in possession of the following:

scales

a calibration weight

amphetamines

U.S. currency

40.3 grams of fentanyl

24.3 grams of cocaine

He was charged with third and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance as well as criminal use of drug paraphernalia.
