Multi-agency operation in Saratoga Springs nets major drug and 3D gun bust

A Saratoga man was arrested and charged with over a dozen felonies, following a joint investigation which resulted in the seizure of illegal narcotics and weapons.

The Saratoga County Sheriff's Office Special Operations Team and Narcotics Unit, in conjunction with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and Saratoga Springs Police Department, executed a search warrant Thursday at 79 Quevic Dr., Saratoga Springs and subsequently arrested Tamaryn H. Bennett, 25, of Saratoga Springs.

Bennett was charged with the following felonies: two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, six counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, one count of criminal manufacture of an undetectable firearm and 11 third-degree counts of criminal possession of a weapon.

According to police, the execution of the search warrant resulted in the seizure of large quantities of illicit drugs including methamphetamine, fentanyl, Xanax, suboxone, and cocaine. In addition, multiple 3D printers were seized as well as 3D-printed firearm receivers for handguns and a MAC-10 machine gun, a 3D-printed firearm silencer, and several high-capacity ammunition devices.

The Quevic Drive property was searched as well as a property on Shippee Road in the town of Day, where an AR-15 and several high-capacity magazines were seized, police stated.

Bennett was arraigned in the Milton Town Court and remanded to the Saratoga County Jail in lieu of bail or bond pending further action in the matter.

It is deeply concerning to know that this is going on in our community. Fortunately, we were able to get a significant amount of deadly drugs and guns off the street before someone got killed,” commented Sheriff Michael H. Zurlo. “Equally troubling is that many of these charges aren’t even bail eligible and this person could have been walking the streets again. We’ve been pretty fortunate so far, but it is critical that our legislature start putting safety before politics.
