Two women arrested for illegal narcotics exchange
Chandra Zittel-Tucker, 29 of Concord, and Kimberly Kloc, 28 of Elma, who have both served prison time for drug offenses, were charged with passing drugs at Erie County Family Court.

The two women, who were jailmates last spring, are both free pending further court proceedings. Last year, Zittel-Tucker served a four-month term for her arrest along with Kloc, who was doing time following an Elma business burglary.

According to the Erie County Sheriff’s office, the two women were arrested after they exchanged illegal narcotics on Tuesday, Jan. 31 in the courthouse.

Senior Detective Alan Rozansky said that, when Zittel-Tucker went to the courthouse to see her probation officer, she ran into Kloc. They were both arrested after authorities observed what they said they believed was the drug exchange.

Zittel-Tucker was charted with possession of four pills of suboxone, an opiate used in the treatment of heroin addicts, which she was not legally authorized to have. Kloc was charged with possessing cocaine.
