GERMANTOWN – A Cairo man is in the Columbia County Jail without bail following his arrest for alleged illegal activity in the Town of Germantown.
The investigation focused on Joseph Clark, 25, of Cairo, who was allegedly distributing heroin in the southern area of Columbia County.
Investigators from the sheriff’s Office of Drug Education and Enforcement Unit arrested Clark after they conducted a six-week investigation that yielded intelligence and evidence.
Clark was stopped in his vehicle on Route 9G in Germantown on September 9. Investigators executed search warrants and found some 27 grams of raw heroin, which would make up some 700 individual doses or more with an approximate street value of $3,000.
He was charged with felonies of criminal possession of a controlled substance and one count with intent to sell.
The sheriff’s office was assisted in the investigation by the Columbia County District Attorney’s Office, the Capital District Drug Enforcement Administration and Columbia County Probation Department.
