Ossining Police Arrest 3 in William St Drug Raid

Two Ossining men and a Yonkers resident face felony drug charges after an investigation into narcotics activity at a house on William Street.

Ossining police said they initiated an investigation in response to community concerns about narcotics activity at a specific location on the street.

With a search warrant for 22 William St., members of the Department on Friday searched a residence and found 63 bags of crack cocaine with an estimated street value of $3,000.

Also recovered were various items commonly used for the packaging and sale of narcotics as well as $1,500 in US currency.

Arrested were Mateo Martinez and Richard Martinez, both residents of 22 William Street, and George Nelson, a resident of Yonkers. All three men face multiple felony narcotics charges when they are arraigned later today in the Ossining Town Justice Court.

In response, Mayor Victoria Gearity said, “We are proud of the great work of the Ossining Police Department. This arrest is another example of the department’s commitment to partnering with the community.”
