• Susan L. Reznick, 35, Tamaqua, was charged with possession of a controlled substance after an Oct. 30 incident. Police were surveying an area of North Railroad street when Reznick was observed with another woman, who had a warrant for her arrest, exit a vehicle, enter a residence, and return to a vehicle. Police made contact with both women and asked Reznick what she was seen putting between the seats of the vehicle. Reznick replied, “Nothing, you can look if you want.” Police found two white wax packets that were consistent with what heroin or fentanyl would be packaged in. The suspected controlled substances were logged into evidence to be sent to the crime lab for further analysis.
