A Brooklyn man was sentenced to 10 years in prison and three years of post-release supervision on Friday, Oct. 31, for selling crack cocaine and fentanyl-laced heroin outside of a Floral Park address in 2024, according to Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly.<\/p>\n
Devon Brown, 35, was convicted Aug. 13 of two counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance, two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance in and resisting arrest. He was found not guilty of one count of criminal possession of a controlled substance and assault.<\/p>\n
Donnelly said that on Feb. 27, 2024, Brown texted with an undercover detective from the Nassau County Police Department\u2019s Narcotics and Vice Squad, who posed as a buyer asking for cocaine and heroin, agreed to provide the drugs and arranged a meet-up.<\/p>\n
Brown went to the unspecified address in Floral Park and was met with several Nassau County Police Department detectives who identified themselves and attempted to arrest him, Donnelly said.<\/p>\n
Brown pulled away from the detectives and tried to run, barreling into one of the detectives and knocking him to the ground, the DA said.<\/p>\n
As Brown ran, he threw away a small tin box, which was recovered by police and found to contain loose crack cocaine, Donnelly said.<\/p>\n
Police later recovered small, colorful bags filled with a substance that was later tested and confirmed to contain fentanyl, the DA said.<\/p>\n
Donnelly said police began investigating Brown after his phone number was identified during a separate investigation following a fatal overdose in Floral Park. Four other people were also arrested and prosecuted based on the information gathered through that investigation, according to the DA.<\/p>\n
