Two Massachusetts residents are facing charges in Broome County after a Sheriff’s Deputy noticed the smell of marijuana while checking on property at a Town of Dickinson Hotel.

The Deputy seized some marijuana and material used in packaging narcotics, a double-edged dagger and $7,800 in cash from one of the rooms.  21 year old Janelle Augustave is charged with criminal possession of a weapon and unlawful possession of marijuana. She was sent to the Broome County Jail on $2,500 bail.

24 year old Cazneen Benjamin is charged with unlawful possession of marijuana.

Deputies say neither Augustave nor Benjamin could give a legitimate reason why they were staying in the area.
