Police arrest three, seize 119 pounds of pot at Canadian border

ALEXANDRIA BAY, N.Y. (AP) - State police say they arrested three
Canadians and seized 119 pounds of marijuana in a case that started at the Canadian border at Alexandria Bay and ended in a raid in the Oswego County town of Richland.

Investigators say they arrested 21-year-old Guglielmo D'Ettorre of Saint Leonard, Quebec, when he tried to enter the United States with the marijuana Friday. He's charged with criminal possession of marijuana.

They say the investigation led them to a home in Richland where they seized nearly $83,000 dollars in cash and arrested two other men, 21-year-old Anthony Paris and 24-year-old Francis Tremblay, both of Montreal. They're charged with money laundering and conspiracy.

All three are being held in the Jefferson County jail on $100,000 dollars cash bail or a $250,000 dollars bond.
