Lockport, NY — A Lockport woman was arrested this week following an investigation by the Niagara County Drug Task Force that led to multiple felony drug charges.
According to the Niagara County Sheriff’s Office, 20-year-old Alana M. Bruning was taken into custody on October 2 after authorities executed a warrant in connection with an ongoing narcotics investigation. Sheriff Michael Filicetti announced the arrest in a press release issued Thursday.
Bruning was allegedly found in possession of controlled substances and was charged with two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, one count of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, and one count of fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
Deputies said Bruning was booked into the Niagara County Jail, where she is being held pending arraignment in court. Details regarding the type and quantity of the substances involved have not yet been released.
Authorities said the arrest is part of the sheriff’s continued effort to combat drug distribution throughout Niagara County. The investigation remains active, and additional arrests may follow as the case develops.
