The documents, filed with the Fayetteville Village Court, contain details from police as well as a statement from his girlfriend's roommate who was arrested at the same time as the 38-year-old Toronto resident.
A felony complaint against the singer states he was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance on July 11 after police stumbled upon a car parked across a driveway with its driver-side door open.
After tracking the licence plate of the vehicle, police entered an apartment where they found Page and 25-year-old Stephanie Ford in the kitchen.
In a statement to police filed with the court, Ford said the two had just finished snorting what she believed to be cocaine using a rolled-up Canadian bill.
She said Page had stored several capsules containing a white powdery substance in a bottle labelled Calcium.
A separate court document states that police questioned Page about the substance he was snorting after it tested positive for cocaine.
"Yeah, it's cocaine," the documents quote Page as saying.
Police allege Page had about a third of an ounce of the drug on him at the time of his arrest. He was taken into police custody, but was later released after posting $10,000 bail. He is scheduled to appear in a New York court on August 26. If convicted, he faces up to 5 1/2 years in prison. Previous reports had suggested Page could face 15 years, but District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said this week that sentencing guidelines had recently changed._
