HIGHTSTOWN Borough police officers arrested one man after they found 847 decks of what they believe to be heroin inside a cab they pulled over early yesterday morning, police said today.

At 12:08 a.m., police stopped a taxi for several motor vehicle violations and detected a strong odor of burnt marijuana coming from inside the vehicle, police said.

In addition to the driver, there were a male and female passenger in the car, police said. Police received permission from the driver to search the vehicle and found the suspected heroin and a small amount of suspected crack cocaine near the male passenger, who has been identified as Lashaun Turner, police said.

Turner was arrested on a number of drug possession charges, tampering with evidence, manufacturing or distributing heroin, possession of heroin with intent to distribute in a school zone and possession of heroin with intent to distribute within 500 feet of a park and a housing authority.

The driver of the taxi received tickets for the motor vehicle violations and was released, and the female passenger was released with no charges. Hightstown police could not identify them or disclose Turners town of residence.

Most of the homes on Germantown Road just outside of Toppenish are connected to only a sewer line from the city; they have their own sources of water. Now those living outside the city limits but who are connected only to the city sewer may face a sewer shut-off if they do not pay their sewer bill. (GORDON KING/Yakima Herald-Republic)

TOPPENISH Residents outside the city of Toppenish who receive city sewer services now face shutoff if they fail to pay their sewer bill.

About 30 customers live just outside the city limits and get domestic water from their own wells, but they also are connected to the citys sewer system. Most of these sewer-only customers live on Germantown Road, just southeast of the city and a stones throw from the sewer plant. But until now, there was no way of shutting them off if they failed to pay their bill.

So, earlier this month, the City Council approved an ordinance allowing the city to install shutoff valves at the properties if the account becomes delinquent. Customers have 30 days to settle delinquent bills. Currently, two customers are more than 30 days past due, City Manager Bill Murphy said.

We cant continue to provide free service to anyone, he said. We have to have a remedy and this is the only suitable remedy.

When city residents fall behind on their bills, their water is simply turned off, which also stops sewer service.

But when sewer services were extended to properties in the county years ago, shutoff valves were not installed, Murphy said.

If a sewer-only customer fails to pay under the new ordinance, a city worker will come out, dig down to the sewer line and install a shutoff valve and shut off the service. Not only will customers have to pay whats owed on their bill, they will also be charged the cost of the valve and the labor for the installation, Murphy said.

A total of $600,000 in government-backed low-interest loans and grant funding as been lined up to assist Brooks House of Bar-B-Q in replacing an aging septic system with a new mini sewer plant, officials said Friday.

Alexander Sandy Mathes, the consultant to the Otsego County Industrial Development Agency, said the money is expected to come from an Otsego County loan fund, the Otsego County Development Corporation, and a 10-county low-interest loan program operated by Broome County.

Officials said Brooks, in the process of building an expanded bottling facility that will allow it to step up the production of sauces sold in stores, has been getting pressure from the state Department of Environmental Conservation to upgrade its septic system.

The bottling facility is adjacent to the Brooks restaurant at 5560 State Route 7 in the town of Oneonta, where public water and sewer systems are lacking.

Mathes said the option of running a sewer line into that area of the town was explored but there would be insufficient financial backing to install one.

Mathes, recently hired by the local IDA, said he is confident the financial package for Brooks will be finalized soon.

We dont anticipate any issues, he said.

Eastman Associates, the general contracting firm headed by Richard Eastman, has been building the bottling plant and will also also install the sewer system.

Its all very positive, Mathes said in noting the boost for Brooks is expected to help the company take its line of sauces made in Oneonta into new markets.

Ryan Brooks, the third generation owner of Brooks Bar-B-Q, said the new bottling plant will be the springboard for an expansion of sauce production for the company.

DENVER (CBS4) Police are on the lookout for thieves who allegedly follow delivery trucks and then steal packages from the front porches of homes.

This is a crime that usually happens around Christmas when many packages are being delivered.

However, in Denvers Hilltop neighborhood it seems the so-called Porch Pirates strike year round.

One Saturday afternoon in February a Fed Ex driver dropped off some packages at a home in Denvers Hilltop neighborhood.

The homes security camera captured someone approaching the house shortly after the delivery that grabbed two of the three packages and then walked off.

This is an unfortunate crime we are seeing, said neighborhood resident Cristen.

Cristen said that thieves have snatched packages from her front door six times in the last two months.

We noticed packages started going missing. over the course of a few months different items would not show up. When we followed up with the various companies they said they had been delivered and we never got them, said Cristen.
