KINGSTON – A 49-year-old Kingston man pled guilty to criminal possession of a controlled substance and conspiracy arising from two separate indictments.
One indictment charging narcotic sales by Peter Bonavita, 49, arose out of a lengthy investigation by the State Police who executed a search warrant in December 2021 and uncovered fentanyl and a firearm at 63 Fairview Avenue in the City of Kingston.
The conspiracy charge arose out of an investigation by the Ulster County Sheriff’s Office Corrections Intelligence Unit and Corrections K9 Unit in collaboration with the sheriff’s detectives’ unit, URGENT and NY/NJ HIDTA, through which Bonavita was identified as one of 11 people who engaged in drug trafficking in the Ulster County Jail in 2023.
He is scheduled to be sentenced in May.
