STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. A Mariners Harbor woman sold cocaine to an undercover officer three times at various locations around Staten Island, authorities allege.
Tamaya Thomas, 28, exchanged drugs for cash in October and November the vicinity of South Avenue in Bloomfield, on a seemingly quiet residential street in Rossville and also near her home on Holland Avenue, according to the criminal complaint, which was based on a Narcotics Borough Staten Island investigation.
Thomas was arrested on Thursday night behind the building where she lives. When Thomas was searched at the 121st Precinct stationhouse in Graniteville, police recovered small plastic bags filled with marijuana from her person, the complaint alleges.
