Acting on an anonymous tip, police apprehended a man wanted on multiple drug and drug-related charges. Ronnie Lane, 50, was indicted in December for possession of controlled substance in the first degree-second offense, firearm enhanced, possession of firearm by convicted felon, possession of drug paraphernalia, firearm enhanced, and persistent felony offender in the first degree.
