According to court records, eight people were charged, including a Salem man accused of taking part in a federal drug conspiracy. The man was arrested, appeared in court, and was later released while awaiting trial.

Investigators said the case involved a trafficking network allegedly tied to Mexico that continued supplying drugs into the United States, with associates in Oregon and California to distribute them. Authorities said the group used several methods to move narcotics, including mailing packages disguised as everyday items.

A man in New York is facing many charges after accusations that he was responsible for an incident resulting in a 10-month-old being admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit with cocaine in their system.

On March 22, a baby was at the Salem home of a 24-year-old man whose relationship with the infant has not been made public at this time. It was reported that there was cocaine in the household while the youngster was present. At some point, the infant reportedly inhaled the substance.

A call for emergency assistance was placed to 911, and first responders transported the baby to Glens Falls Hospital. After medical staff assessed and provided care for the child, it was determined that they should be admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit at Albany Medical Center.
