Crazy news from Long Island to Vermont. 34-year-old Michael Foreste of Valley stream had more than blocks. He had clientele up in Vermont frequently buying prescription pills. According to news and police reports, when it came to one particular customer, Dannis Hackney, he would conveniently send them, but in the name of Hackney’s 2-year old niece. Unfortunately for Foreste, he was unaware that his client had been compromised. More info after the jump.
According to NY Daily News, Foreste didn’t know his customer was secretly cooperating with the Drug Enforcement Administration and agents were monitoring the packages coming from a house in Valley Stream where Foreste lives with his mother.
When the monitored packages arrived at their destination, DEA agents — Armed with a search warrant — seized a package at the baby’s residence in Winooski, Vt., on June 10 containing a “stuffed animal, infant’s clothing, a baby’s bib, a small purse and two bags of Skittles candies,” according to court papers unsealed in Brooklyn Federal Court last week. The packages of skittles contained around 305 oxycodone pills.
However, while it’s obvious that the aforementioned led to the arrest of Foreste, Hackney was also arrested for failing to alert authorities that the packages would be in his niece’s name.
