The city s narcotics prosecutor will seek to have 24 drug-related convictions vacated and dismissed after the cases had direct ties to an NYPD detective who has been accused of framing innocent individuals.
In addition to the 24 dismissals, consisting of 18 felony indictments ad six misdemeanor complaints, Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan announced that her office will move to have four addition arrest records sealed. Three of those individuals have already had their felony charges dismissed after completing diversion programs, and the fourth previously pleaded guilty to a disorderly conduct charge, Brennan s office said.

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, NY A 24-hour drug market that traded narcotics from a Washington Heights street has been busted.
The investigation into the highly organized street-level drug organization started at West Kingsbridge Road and Jerome Avenue in The Bronx, but its focus quickly shifted to the operation s main location : a block at Audubon Avenue between West 173rd and West 174th streets.
As the investigation carried on, dozens of community members complained to the NYPD s 33rd Precinct about the open and notorious drug activity that took place in their neighborhood 24 hours per day.
