• 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.
