OGDENSBURG -- A Rochester man was arrested Tuesday night for alleged felony crack cocaine possession, and authorities say they expect more arrests to follow.

Rashad J. Byrd, 37, of 654 English Rd., was charged with criminal possession of crack cocaine with intent to sell, a Class B felony, following a vehicle stop on State Rt. 37 near Ogdensburg.

The arrest follows a crack cocaine distribution investigation by St. Lawrence County Sheriff's Drug Task Force, according to a news release from the Sheriff's Office.
