STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A senior citizen was one of two suspects who sold drugs to an undercover officer in their home community of Stapleton, authorities allege.
Alton Pridgen, 69, of Gordon Street, and Anthony Johnson, 45, of Broad Street, were arrested on Sept. 25, according to the criminal complaint, which was based on an investigation by Narcotics Borough Staten Island.
The alleged episode began when an undercover officer handed cash to Pridgen, police said.
