Shocking Arrest: Rockland Man Caught with 2 Kilos of Cocaine
A Pearl River man has been arrested in Rockland County after authorities discovered two kilograms of cocaine and a quantity of heroin during a search of his home.
The arrest follows a six-month investigation led by the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office Drug Task Force in collaboration with the County Probation Department and the Orangetown Police Department.
Daryl Wright, 41, was taken into custody on Wednesday, October 23, after law enforcement executed a search warrant at his Pearl River residence.
Alongside the drugs, officials also seized drug paraphernalia linked to trafficking activities.
Rockland County District Attorney Thomas Walsh II emphasized the significance of this arrest, stating, “This arrest sends a strong message to any individual trafficking drugs in our community, you will be arrested and held accountable.”
Wright has been charged with felony drug possession and was arraigned before a judge. He is currently being held without bail at the Rockland County Jail.
The investigation, part of an ongoing effort by the Rockland County Drug Task Force to tackle narcotics distribution in the region, highlights the coordinated efforts of local law enforcement agencies in addressing drug-related crime.
Authorities have not disclosed additional details regarding potential further arrests or the broader scope of the investigation.
