A Saratoga Springs woman and her son, who works as a state corrections officer, have been indicted in connection with a large-scale marijuana distribution case.

Freda M. Rushford, 62, and her son Bradley W. Rushford, 33, of Ellenburg Depot, were indicated by a federal grand jury on charges of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than 100 kilograms of marijuana.

The charges pertain to allegations the two conspired to distribute marijuana in Clinton County in 2010 and 2011.

Ms. Rushford also faces a felony charge for allegedly making a false statement to federal law enforcement officers who questioned her about her knowledge of a seizure of marijuana from a vehicle registered in her name in 2011.

Both defendants were arraigned in U.S. District Court and sent to Clinton County Jail for lack of bail. Mr. Rushford had posted bail as of Friday afternoon.

Mr. Rushford is a corrections officer at Franklin Correctional Facility but has been suspended without pay in light of the arrest.
