Police in Brooklyn arrested Javon High on coke slinging charges. The 46-year old, a Brooklyn College janitor, took his side gig to work in his janitor uniform. High had all kinds of keys. High allegedly dealt cocaine in front of James Hall where kids attend preschool and after-school programs. He also allegedly heated up the Coney Island public housing complex his family lives in.
