New York State Police and the Greene County District Attorney have announced a number of arrests – including that of a state trooper – in what they call a large-scale narcotics operation.
Authorities say they executed search warrants in Greene and Albany counties on Monday and seized 500 grams of cocaine, two illegal handguns, three illegal AR-15 rifles, multiple parts for so-called “ghost” guns and about $10,000 in cash. Police say 46-year-old Robert Coleman of Slingerlands was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance. Authorities say he is a state trooper assigned to Troop T. He and Jessica Spinner, also of Slingerlands, were issued appearance tickets to Saugerties Town Court.
