Broome County Mom Facing Felony Drug Charges After Motel Raid

A Broome County mother is facing multiple felony drug and child endangerment charges after regional authorities executed a search warrant and allegedly seized more than 34 grams of cocaine from the local motel room where she was reportedly living with her two young children, officials announced today.

Jazmine R. Meade, 26, was arrested Monday, June 1, following what authorities describe as a targeted raid by the Broome County Special Investigations Unit Task Force.

Task Force Raids Hillside Inn Motel

The arrest stems from a coordinated operation executed on Monday, June 1, 2026. Members of the narcotics task force descended on the Hillside Inn, located at 690 Old Front Street in the Town of Dickinson, to serve a search warrant on a room allegedly occupied by Meade.

Investigators simultaneously executed a search warrant on a vehicle associated with the case.

Over 34 Grams of Cocaine and Distribution Gear Seized

During their search of both the motel room and the vehicle, task force members allege they uncovered a significant quantity of illicit substances and materials. According to police reports, the alleged seizure included:

Approximately 34.9 grams of what authorities identified as cocaine
Suboxone strips
Narcotics packaging materials
A digital scale
Chemical cutting agents

Young Children Allegedly Present In Drug-Filled Room

Investigators allege that Meade was using the local motel room as her primary residence for herself and her two young children, who were allegedly present in the room at the time the warrant was executed.

Due to the environment and the presence of narcotics, police completed a Child Abuse Hotline Report. Child Protective Services was contacted to launch an additional investigation into the children's safety and welfare.

Long List of Felony and Misdemeanor Counts

Following the raid, Meade was taken into custody and processed on a sweeping array of criminal charges. She faces two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, which are categorized as Class B felonies in New York State. All charges are allegations and have not been proven in court.
