New York State Police investigators say 34-year-old Michael Champlin of Camillus has been charged with second-degree attempted possession of a controlled substance.

Investigators say the Nichols business received a package address to a casino hotel guest on January 3.

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.
