Sayville Woman Charged, Possessed 'Deadly' Quantity Of Narcotics: Cops

SAYVILLE, NY — A Sayville woman was arrested and charged with possession and intent to sell illegal narcotics, after officers were serving an extreme risk protection order, the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office announced on Thursday.

Sydney Scott, 31, was charged with two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, and three counts of second-degree criminally using drug paraphernalia, officials said.

The Sheriff’s Office Domestic Violence Unit were executing an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) on Scott on Tuesday, when they discovered she possessed a quantity of fentanyl, cocaine, packaging material, scales, a pill press, and cutting agents consistent with narcotic drug sales.

“The discovery of these deadly drugs is a lifesaving act by getting them off our streets before they were able to be sold to potential victims," said Suffolk County Sheriff Errol D. Toulon, Jr. "Thank you to the Deputy Sheriffs that work to keep the public safe by executing these dangerous search warrants day after day.”

An ERPO is a court order issued when a person may be dangerous to themselves or others. The Extreme Risk Protection Order Law became effective in New York State as of August 24, 2019, and prevents individuals who show signs of being a threat to themselves or others from purchasing or possessing any kind of firearm.
