This just in from the Montclair Police’s Deputy Chief Todd Conforti:
As a result of an ongoing narcotics investigation, warrants were issued against Brandon Brown for the distribution of crack on Mission Street and the surrounding area. On 12/11/10, Brown was observed retrieving items from the siding of a house on Mission Street. He was then seen turning over small items in exchange for money to individuals who would walk up to him. As police arrived to conduct a closer look, Brown had left the area. During the course of the investigation, 40 small bags of crack, with an estimated street value of $400, were seized from under the siding of the house where Brown was seen retrieving items.
On 12/12/10 at approximately 3:55 pm, Brown was arrested after being observed on Mission Street. Brown, 23, of Montclair, was charged with possession and distribution of a controlled dangerous substance, distribution of a controlled dangerous substance within 1000’ of Charles H. Bullock School and distribution of a controlled dangerous substance within 500’ of public housing (10 Pine Street). Brown was released on a $5,000 bail.
Is this 5 or 6 since the beginning of the school year? I’ve totally lost count!
Within 500ft of public housing…imagine that.
It’s about time we started to see results in the War on Siding!
