Authorities say methamphetamine with a street value of several thousand dollars was confiscated at Tioga Downs Casino Resort.

Police discovered the package contained about ten ounces of crystal meth.
A search warrant was obtained and investigators searched Champlin's room and his vehicle.
Police said the street value of the confiscated drugs was estimated to be $12,000.
The searches resulted in the seizure of more methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
Champlin was arraigned in Nichols town court. He was sent to Tioga County Jail without bail.
