POUGHKEEPSIE – Troop K State Police worked with New York City Police in arresting a Bronx man operating as a major drug dealer.

“A cumulative effort among law enforcement partners has once again results in a massive seizure of deadly drugs,” said State Police Acting Superintendent Steven James. “Not only did this interception save lives, but it also put an end to the violence that is often associated with drug trafficking.”
