• DRUG ARREST: Falls police were called to the Rainbow Bridge about 11 p.m. Sunday after U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents reported stopping a Falls woman with drugs in her car. Agents said the woman, Tonya M. Bell, 25, 690 Chilton Ave., Apt. 1, was coming back into the U.S. and after being sent to a secondary inspection site, a baggie containing 10 individually wrapped bags of a substance that field-tested positive for cocaine were found in the driver’s side door panel of her ’01 Crown Victoria. Police said the combined weight of the suspected cocaine was 4.3 grams. Bell was charged with third- and fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.

• VANDALISM: A 57-year-old A Street woman told police Monday that sometime Sunday night someone threw a brick through the windshield of her ’91 Olds Cutlass and slashed one of its front tires. The car had been parked in the street in front of her home.

Wheatfield

• MISSING PERSON: At 6:42 p.m. on Nov. 19, Sheriff’s deputies spoke with a Lakeside Drive resident about a missing person. The caller told deputies that the missing person flew from Buffalo to metropolitan Washington, D.C., for a job fair Nov. 14 and was supposed to be back in Western New York on Nov. 17. The Wheatfield man said he tried to reach the person after he failed to board the plane home. On Friday, the missing person was found to be OK. A police report said the man was in a car accident before heading to the airport in Washington, D.C., and was taken to the hospital, causing him to miss his flight.
