OXFORD– Investigating a loud noise complaint at an apartment complex, the Oxford Police Department arrested seven people including six teens and a 41-year-old after discovering narcotics at the residence and on a number of the occupants.

Police said the youths were arrested at the home of 41-year-old Patrick J. Gilbert at 16 Merchant St., Apartment 5, in the Village of Oxford at 8:30 p.m. Thursday.

He was arraigned in Village of Oxford Court before Justice Charles K. Race and remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility on $5,000 cash bail or $20,000 property bond.
