Arrested were Jason Alein, 32, of Valley Cottage, Candice Biggs, also known as Candi, 30, of Nyack, Jason Britt, also known as J-Gotti, 34, of Nyack, and Stephanie Federici, 32, of Valley Cottage.
District Attorney Thomas Zugibe said the defendants were major players in the open-air drug markets believed responsible for moving thousands of dollars in illegal drugs into the community.
Among those drug dealings, according to the charges, were the sales of narcotics in the area of the Nyack Plaza Apartments, including the front lot of Head Start of Rockland. Those illegal activities were often surveilled by Orangetown Police and Rockland County Drug Task Force members.
