Two Kingston residents were arrested following an investigation into pharmaceutical sales in Ulster County.

In January, URGENT began investigating the sales of diverted pharmaceuticals from the Green Street area of the City of Kingston. Sales of oxycodone were allegedly later made to an undercover police officer.

On Wednesday, the Ulster County Sheriff’s Office arrested 51-year-old Michael Madarish and Bambi L. Bridge, 54, both of Kingston on arrest warrants relating to previous sales.

Both were charged with 3rd-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, 3rd-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, and 4th-degree conspiracy, all felonies.

Both were arraigned in Olive Town Court and remanded to the Ulster County Jail.  Bridge in lieu of $2,500 cash bail or $5,000 bond.  Madarish in lieu of $5,000 cash bail or $10,000 bond.
