Cops: Riverhead man again arrested for drug possession

A 25-year-old Riverhead man was arrested early Sunday morning after he was caught in possession of an opioid treatment drug without a prescription, Southampton Town police said.

He was charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and released on an appearance ticket, police said.
