Police: Craigslist Ad for Marijuana Leads to Arrest of Suffolk Man in Plainview

A Mattituck man posted an ad on Craigslist offering marijuana for sale, but his “customers” turned out to be cops Wednesday night, Nassau County Police said.

David M. Boscola, 34, was arrested at 9:30 p.m. in Plainview, police said.

According to police, while conducting a narcotics investigation, detectives contacted Boscola through the Craigslist ad he placed, which listed various strains of marijuana for sale, including “sour diesel,” “kush,” and “purple urkle.”

Detectives arranged a meeting with Boscola on Round Swamp Road in Plainview, where he was placed under arrest without incident, police said.

Boscola is charged with criminal sale of marijuana and criminal possession of marijuana. He will be arraigned on Thursday at First District Court in Hempstead.
