Schwab was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third and fifth degrees, criminally using drug paraphernalia in the second degree, resisting arrest and obstructing governmental administration in the second degree.

He was arraigned and remanded to the Ulster County Jail on $20,000 cash bail or $40,000 bond.
