A Kane mother and son were sent to McKean County Jail following arraignments early Thursday on charges involving drugs and stolen weapons.
Marily Woodford-McMahon, 61, of 220 Haines St., and her son, Paul McMahon, 28, are both charged with altering a mark of identification and seven counts of receiving stolen property, all second-degree felonies; one count of possession with intent to deliver controlled substances, a felony; five counts of possessing offensive weapons, first-degree misdemeanors; one count of possession of a controlled substance and two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia, all misdemeanors.
According to the criminal complaint, on Wednesday, state police executed a search warrant at the Haines Street residence of Woodford-McMahon, where her son was known to frequent. She was at the residence when police arrived, and McMahon showed up shortly thereafter; both were detained, police said.
During the search of the residence, drugs, paraphernalia, illegal firearms, stolen crossbows and firearms were seized, the complaint stated.
Also seized was a safe containing multiple bundles of glassine bags containing suspected fentanyl, a 28-gram bag of marijuana, a scale, multiple pills inside a prescription bottle with the label peeled off, multiple marijuana smoking pipes, multiple Suboxone strip containers and a handwritten list of all the drugs and what prices they sold for, the complaint stated. Also in the safe were three sets of brass knuckles.
Inside the home, police found two sawed-off shotguns, one with a barrel length of 14 inches and the other with a barrel length of 17 inches, the complaint stated.
Inside Woodford-McMahon’s bedroom police found three crossbows, a 12 gauge shotgun, a .308 rifle with a brown stock and scope, a single shot .22 rifle and an SCCY 9 MM Model CPX-2TTRD, all of which had been reported stolen through the Kane Borough Police Department, the complaint stated.
Also during the bedroom search, multiple small bags of marijuana for personal use were located, along with paraphernalia.
When McMahon was taken into custody, he was searched and found to be in possession of a bag of methamphetamine, a clear plastic bag consistent with those used to package narcotics and bulk currency that was bundled with rubber bands, the complaint stated.
During an interview by police, Woodford-McMahon said all the marijuana located in the room was hers, the complaint stated.
Both were arraigned before on-call District Judge Rich Luther and remanded to jail in lieu of $400,000 bail each. Preliminary hearings are scheduled for Aug. 4 in Central Court.
