“This arrest exemplifies the spirit of collaboration and dedication within our community,” Mark Ater, Director of Public Safety, said. “We are not defined by state lines, but by the collective determination of our men and women in uniform who work tirelessly to protect our community from drug-related threats. This is the future of Union City, two departments becoming one, serving the community in the best way that we can.”

Brown remains in jail on a $25,000 bond.
