GLENVILLE -- Two Schenectady residents were charged earlier this week with selling crack cocaine following surveillance of street-level drug dealing.
     
Tishona Sykes, 39, and Kevin Brown, 54, were arrested Thursday night, arraigned in Glenville Town Court and sent to the Schenectady County Jail.

Besides drug charges, Brown faces traffic violations for allegedly drinking in a motor vehicle.

As of Saturday afternoon, Sykes remained locked up on $20,000. Brown was free on bail, according to jail officials.

The drug investigation is continuing.
