Patterson Man Accused Of Drug Dealing In Putnam County: Sheriff

PUTNAM COUNTY, NY — A 33-year-old Patterson man accused of selling narcotics sale faces two felony drug charges.

He was arrested March 16 in Southeast after an almost year-long investigation, Sheriff Kevin J. McConville said.

In May 2021 an investigator assigned to the Sheriff's Department Narcotics Enforcement Unit developed information that a Patterson resident was involved in the sale of MDMA (Ecstasy) in the county. The investigator was able to connect with the man and arrange a drug buy. On March 16, members of the Narcotics Enforcement Unit took him into custody on Interstate 84.

He was charged with one count of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the 5th degree and one count of Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance in the 5th degree, both felonies.

He was arraigned before the Honorable Judge Caruso of the Town of Patterson Court and was released pending an April 20 court date.
