Troy Deputy Police Chief Steven Barker tells us three arrests were made on October 31 following an investigation into drug activity in the city.

Gregory L. Clark, 34, Xavier J. Carr, 23, and Katrice L. Malloy, 54, all of Troy, were arrested as a result of the investigation, police said.

The Troy Police Department’s Emergency Response Team, assisted by the Albany Police Department’s Emergency Services Team, executed court-ordered search warrants at two Troy locations in part of an ongoing drug and weapons investigation.

Officials say the locations searched were a residence at 399 3rd Street and an apartment at Country Garden Apartments on Colleen Road.

Searches at both locations resulted in detectives and evidence technicians seizing a loaded firearm, cocaine, U.S. currency and drug packaging, police said.

Authorities say Clark, Carr and Malloy were arrested Thursday and taken to Troy Police Central Station for processing.

Clark was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon (loaded firearm) and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon (prior conviction).

Carr and Malloy were charged with two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, each with one count with intent to sell.

Police said all three were arraigned in Troy Municipal Court.
