Three Bradford residents were arrested in a roundup Wednesday by
the McKean County Drug Task Force.

“Arrests were made today regarding several long-term and
complicated investigations,” said District Attorney John Pavlock,
who heads the task force. “I appreciate all the hard work of the
officers who participated in this difficult work.

“I think the fact that the drug task force is making arrests is
clear evidence that they are hard at work. Even when people don’t
immediately see where something is going on, it very well might
be,” Pavlock said.

According to court records at District Judge Dom Cercone’s
office, arrests were made on East Corydon and School streets.

Walter Neilly, 53, of 44 E. Corydon St., is charged with two
counts each of delivery and of possession of controlled
substances.

One set of charges alleges that Neilly sold .40 grams of cocaine
to a confidential informant of the Task Force Feb. 10 from his
residence, according to court records. The other set of charges
alleges Neilly sold 1.2 grams of morphine, a derivative of opium,
to a confidential informant on Feb. 21 for the price of $150, the
records read. That alleged sale was also made from Neilly’s
residence, according to court records.

Neilly was arraigned in front of Cercone and remanded to McKean
County Jail in lieu of $2,500 bail in each case.

Terry A. Passmore, 55, of 79 School St., is charged with three
counts each of delivery and possession of controlled
substances.

On Oct. 7, 2005, at 353 E. Main St., Passmore allegedly sold 10
pills of Tylenol IV containing codeine to a confidential informant,
according to court records.

On Oct. 1, 2006, at 79 School St., Passmore allegedly sold two
100 milligram tablets of morphine to a confidential informant, the
records read.

On Feb. 9, at 79 School St., Passmore allegedly sold .35 grams
of amphetamine to a confidential informant, according to the
records.

He was remanded to jail in lieu of $3,000 cash bail.

Trudy L. Cucuzza, 50, of 79 School St., is charged with two
counts each of delivery and possession of a controlled
substance.

On Feb. 9, Cucuzza allegedly sold five diazepam (Valium) tablets
to a confidential informant at her residence, and later that same
day, sold 25 more diazepam tablets to an informant, according to
court records.

She was remanded to jail in lieu of $2,000 bail.

Preliminary hearings in all the cases were set for April 18 in
front of Cercone.
