Edward Reeves, 41, of Hudson Avenue is accused of selling heroin on three occasions to an undercover officer from the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department, including one sale of a half-ounce of heroin for $2,600, said Kieran O'Leary, public information officer for Westchester County Police. Two sales occurred in Peekskill and one in Cortlandt, O'Leary said.
Reeves was taken into custody Tuesday at 11:25 a.m. on Main Street in Peekskill. He was charged with one count of Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance in the second degree, two counts of Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance in the third degree and three counts of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the third degree, all felonies.
The investigation was conducted by a task force of officers from the Westchester County Police Narcotics Unit, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department and the Peekskill, Yorktown and Croton-on-Hudson police departments. The investigation is part of the ongoing work of the multi-agency Northern Narcotics Initiative to combat the distribution and sale of heroin in northern Westchester.
Reeves is currently on parole for a previous drug-sales conviction.
He was arraigned Tuesday in Peekskill City Court and Cortlandt Town Court. He is being held without bail at the Westchester County Jail in Valhalla.
