Fighting drugs one corner, arrest and bag at a time adds up eventually, Paterson police said following a series of street busts.
One of those arrested, 20-year-old Emmanuel DeJesus, was caught with 161 heroin folds in the area of Main and Robert streets after detectives watched a deal go down, city Public Safety Director Jerry Speziale said.
They also busted a 55-year-old city man after they said he bought 10 folds from DeJesus.
Among other accused dealers scooped up by Narcotics Division detectives was Tevin Elliot, 29, who Speziale said was caught with 11 crack vials and 11 bags of pot for sale in the parking lot of the P&I Laundromat at Highland and Sassafras streets.
