GOSHEN - Orange County District Attorney David Hoovler announced Thursday that 17 defendants are facing charges related to the trafficking of cocaine, heroin, fentanyl and prescription medications throughout the county.
The sweep was conducted by the Orange County Drug Task Force, assisted by police from the Village of Monroe and the cities of Middletown and Newburgh.
Twelve of the defendants already have been arrested. Eleven were chaged with third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, both felonies.
They are Hakeen Frith, 29, of Port Jervis; Stephen Johnson, 51, of Liberty; Duane Spearman, 53, Shatiro Lawrence, 33, Tameka Hannah, 44, Tyler Wilson, 23, Louis Towles, 20, and Terrance Norman, 50, all of Newburgh; Michael Elwyn, 43, of Montgomery; Robert Gayle, 44, of New York City; and Eric Hall, 50, no home town listed.
Two felony charges against Phillip Michael Stroupe Sr. have been dropped, District Attorney Andrew Murray confirmed.
Stroupe Sr. is the father of Phillip Stroupe II, who was charged with kidnapping, first-degree murder and more than a dozen other charges across five counties following the death of Thomas Bryson in 2017.
The dismissal signed by Murray May 18 in Henderson County Superior Court says the charges, based on the same information, were dropped due to a lack of evidence that Stroupe Sr. understood or acted on information his son gave him during a prison visit about the location of Bryson s body.
Stroupe Sr. was charged with accessory after the fact of kidnapping and accessory after the fact of first-degree murder.
