Not what Yanero family intended

Elwood Toll, ever alert even though he is Class of 1951 and will be 85 in November, 1 year older than me on my Nov. 5 84th birthday, corrects my story on the Country Club Motor Lodge’s heritage.

Elwood’s email:

“John, the Mazza family didn't build Country Club Motor Lodge. Mike Yanero did.
Dominc Mazza built Avenue Motor Court on Fairmont Avenue.”

Thanks, Elwood. Stay sharp, just like Gillette Blue Blades. (Remember that slogan?)

Here's the corrected version, thanks to Elwood.

Country Club Motel in Fairmont, which was built originally by the Yanero family, became the site of a disreputable situation Thursday.

Two women from Pittsburgh had FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY BAGS OF HEROIN stashed in their room, police said.

Bridgeport Police and members of the Greater Harrison County and Violent Crimes Task Force said they watched Jalisa “Ashley” Hawkins and Breona Williams engage in a transaction with a known drug dealer at the Clarksburg Walmart.

Police confronted the trio and recovered five stamps of heroin sold in the transaction, they said.

So the cops got a search warrant and the Three Rivers Drug Task Force (out of Pittsburgh, of course) went into the two women’s Country Club Motel room and found nine bricks of heroin (which can create 450 bags of the drug that is killing thousands of Americans).

Hawkins and Williams were charged with distribution of heroin and conspiracy for the incident at Walmart and will be charged in Marion County for possession with intent to deliver. 

According to Bridgeport Police, Hawkins already is on bond involving a drug investigation by the Harrison County SCAD unit.
