POUGHKEEPSIE – Convicted felon David Brooks, Jr., 22, was arrested Thursday evening for allegedly selling drugs while on probation. The Poughkeepsie resident was arrested by members of the Dutchess County Drug Task Force following an investigation and indictment of Brooks which was completed in August.
