ALBANY A veteran state trooper who is well known for his aggressive patrols along the Thruway was arrested recently in Ulster County and charged with drug possession as part of a spin-off investigation into a Greene County drug ring, officials said.
Trooper Robert C. Coleman, 46, who joined the State Police in 2000 and lives in Slingerlands, was charged with misdemeanor drug possession following his arrest. The investigation was handled, in part, by the State Police Special Investigations Unit.

New York State Police and the Greene County District Attorney have announced a number of arrests – including that of a state trooper – in what they call a large-scale narcotics operation.
Authorities say they executed search warrants in Greene and Albany counties on Monday and seized 500 grams of cocaine, two illegal handguns, three illegal AR-15 rifles, multiple parts for so-called “ghost” guns and about $10,000 in cash. Police say 46-year-old Robert Coleman of Slingerlands was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance. Authorities say he is a state trooper assigned to Troop T. He and Jessica Spinner, also of Slingerlands, were issued appearance tickets to Saugerties Town Court.
