CORNING, N.Y. (WENY) -- On Saturday, December 23rd, a man and woman in the City of Corning were arrested after a no-knock search warrant was executed at the former Old Stanton Hotel.  According to the Corning City Police, Cory M. Johnson and Carissa J. Thompson were arrested after authorities seized a large amount of methamphetamine and cash.

Both Johnson and Thompson are two-time convicted felons, with Thompson being on New York State Parole for drug-related convictions.

They both will be held at the Steuben County Jail without bail because of their prior felony convictions.
