KINGSTON – A Brooklyn woman,
who is an opiate addict, pled guilty in Ulster County Court on Tuesday
to a charge of burglary for breaking into the Village Apothecary in Saugerties
and stealing prescription bottles of narcotics.
Tiffany Bub, 38, broke a window in the rear of the store on July 3 and crawled through to steal the drugs. She crawled back out and ran away while swallowing at least a dozen pills.
Concerned residents followed her and called police. Saugerties Police apprehended her a short distance away as she became incoherent due to the consumption of the narcotics and was taken to the hospital.
Bub has paid over $3,000 restitution to the pharmacy. She has no prior criminal history.
