PORT CHESTER — In another focused action to inflict significant damage to narcotics trafficking throughout the region, Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino, Jr. and Village of Port Chester Police Chief Richard Conway announced a series of arrests on indictments of drug dealers operating in and around Port Chester, neighboring Connecticut and the Bronx. Wednesday’s sweep was a culmination of a yearlong investigation stemming from fatal heroin overdoses. Port Chester Police, in collaboration with Greenwich (Connecticut) Police, began investigating dealers in their communities working across state lines.
Five men were taken into custody in early-morning raids in multiple locations in Port Chester.
In addition to Wednesday’s arrests, this investigation also provided critical evidence which sparked the 68-count indictment of 12 defendants arrested in Mount Vernon and the Bronx last week.
In total six defendants were indicted by a Westchester County Grand Jury. The four separate multicount indictments were unsealed Wednesday and five defendants were arraigned in Westchester County Court.
- Eleonay Narvaez, 49
- Javelle Ross, 19
- Kaley Herring, 57,
- Andre Price, 22
- Eugene Rodrigues, 51 aka Jay
The sixth defendant named in the indictments, Rafael Olivera, is being held in Rikers Island, after his arrest in the Bronx last week. His arraignment on these charges is pending.
The defendants were taken into custody without incident. Along with the arrests, police seized heroin bundles ready to be sold.
