QUEENSBURY, N.Y. ( NEWS10 )– Two individuals were arrested during a traffic stop on Tuesday after deputies seized drugs and cash from a vehicle. Joshua Graves, 39, of Hudson Falls and Billie Jo Parker, 49, of Queensbury, face multiple charges.

According to the Warren County Sheriff’s Office, during a traffic stop, deputies allegedly observed drug paraphernalia and a substance consistent with crack cocaine in view. Both individuals were removed from the vehicle, and both were found to be in possession of cocaine.

Deputies said Graves had almost an ounce of cocaine on him while Parker was found to have almost 1000 grams of cocaine. Deputies also seized over $2,600 from the car.

Charges for Graves:

• Aggravated Unlicensed Operation in the second degree
• Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the fourth degree

Charges for Parker:

A third individual was in the car, who had an active bench warrant out of the Town of Moreau. Deputies turned Jacqueline Rock, 34, of Queensbury, to state police in response to the warrant.

Following the arrests, a search warrant was executed on Parker’s house. Upon the search, deputies retrieved an additional 100 grams of cocaine as well as multiple items of drug paraphernalia consistent with drugs sales activity, from the home.

Both individuals were arraigned at the Warren County CAP Court where Graves was remanded with bail set, while Parker was released on her own recognizance. Graves later posted bail, and Parker faces future charges while her case, from the search warrant, is still under investigation.
