Ridgefield Park Waitress Dealt Drugs To Patrons: Rockland DA

NYACK, NY – A waitress from Ridgefield Park, New Jersey is among nine people arrested Monday as part of a large-scale narcotics investigation into a cocaine distribution ring operating in Rockland County, New York.

The investigation began last July when the county DA's Drug Task Force received information about a close-knit drug-trafficking network operating from local bars and restaurants in Nyack and Pearl River.

"This sweep is the latest step in our ongoing campaign to stop drug dealing and drug-based violence in Rockland County," District Attorney Thomas P. Zugibe said in a statement. "We will continue to aggressively track down those individuals who traffic in narcotics and seek to put them in prison for a long time.”

Prosecutors allege that Stanley Juin, 32, of Nyack, was overseeing the network of suppliers, re-sellers and customers.

One of Juin’s alleged re-sellers was identified as Paige Willock of Ridgefield Park, New Jersey. She and Jenna Cippoletti of Nyack worked at bars and restaurants in Nyack. Zugibe said Juin would meet Willock and Cippoletti where they worked and supply cocaine, which would be re-sold by the women to their customers.

Willock, 27, of 224 Preston St. in Ridgefield Park, faces two felony charges of fourth-degree conspiracy.

Juin’s source of supply was identified by prosecutors as West Haverstraw resident Gladimir Boursiquot. According to the charges, Boursiquot mainly conducted his cocaine sales at bars and restaurants in Pearl River.

Juin, Boursiquot and their associates had more than 150 cocaine customers across Rockland, prosecutors alleged.

“The result of this joint investigation with Orangetown Police should bring welcome relief to the residents of Rockland County," Zugibe said. "These arrests underscore our commitment to improve the quality of life for local families.”
