Squatters Had Xanax at Local Business, Cops Say

A Jefferson Township man was charged with having Xanax illegally after police found him and a female friend squatting at a local business, Capt. Eric Wilsusen said.

Officer Dave Wojtach found Bruce Coston, 32, and a 22-year-old female squatting at the U-Store-It on Edison Road Sunday, Wilsusen said.

When Wojtach spoke with the pair, he found the drug on Coston, without a prescription, Wilsusen said.

At that time, the female was found hyperventilating and requested transportation to St. Clare’s Hospital, Wilsusen said.

Coston was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance and turned over to the Roxbury police on an outstanding $1,542 warrant.
