Two Stories of Crime in New York

by Stephen Bilkis

A drug pusher may have been one of the few Americans to actually benefit from the events of September 11, 2001, New York Criminal Lawyers have learned. But now, his luck has run out.

The drug dealer may have already been in prison but for the fact that the evidence gathered against him happened to be in the World Trade Center on 9/11. Now another charge has surfaced and he will serve a five-year sentence for bail jumping – something he did more than 16 years ago, in an appeals court ruling.

Back in 1994, the deal was already on probation when he was arrested for allegedly being one of the men behind a crack ring in the Bronx. He was allowed to go on $200,000 bail, then went into hiding. In order to stay hidden, he even burned off his own fingerprints, sources have stated.

by Stephen Bilkis

Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy has unveiled a new plan to stop heroin usage in Nassau County and Suffolk County’s younger generation. Suffolk County had over 1,000 heroin related drug charges this year and 50 heroin related overdoses. The dramatic statistics have made officials take notice. Suffolk is now forming a new heroin task force. They will be taking 31 officers from Suffolk County’s other precincts to form this squad. These officers will investigate all leads and tips that they receive. They have set up a text messaging hotline for tips to be called in anonymously. They will also going into the high schools and middle schools with social workers to talk to children about heroin. A Suffolk County Criminal Lawyer reports that officials are also trying to lobby for a new law to try to dissuade potential drug sales. They would like any vehicle used in a heroin sale to become property of the County.

The County is planning on offering free drug testing kits for parents and making guidebooks available to parents. These books will alert parents to the signs of heroin use and treatment options. They will be hosting “sober” events for recovering addicts. These events will be part of new support groups that will be formed for addicts who are looking for counseling.

Though these plans are in place, some will still be put under arrest because of heroin. If that were to happen to you or a loved one, you will need an aggressive Suffolk County Criminal Lawyer.

The Mob, The Mulberry Bush, and The Marijuana Bust Reported by a Nassau County Criminal Lawyer

by Stephen Bilkis

The bust labeled “Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush” definitely has the characteristics of a big time organization. Marijuana and $1.1 million in cash was found and it is thought to be the profits from a money-laundering ring and even has ties to a mob. The apartment on Mulberry Street is located near part of the Bonanno crime family’s turf.

Two men were arrested last month in conjunction with this drug ring. A photo of one of these men in a field of marijuana was found in the flat and by all indications, the drugs were headed to California to fund a Mexican cocaine purchase and the rest would be shipped to Canada.

Two other suspects of the drug ring are Dehran Duckworth, a drummer in the band Narhed and a real estate agent. These criminals were caught last month with a duffel bag holding five pounds of marijuana. The bag was in a BMW, which was belonged to one of the suspects. The pot was found shrink-wrapped to help hide the odor of the pot and the other chemicals used in processing. Marijuana and Canadian Bud is a source of big bucks for the criminals involved in the drug industry.

Mother Over-Doses 8-Year-Old With Ground-Up Prescription Medication States a Suffolk County Criminal Lawyer

by Stephen Bilkis

A deranged woman, a distraught father and ex-husband and an extremely confused grandmother all try to make out the details behind the supposed murder of an eight-year-old boy. They could use a Suffolk County Criminal Lawyer. The father, who lives across the country, said he thought that the grandmother of the child had identified the little boys body. However, he learned after 48 hours that the little boy’s body remained in the medical examiner’s office without a proper identification. The mother is suspected of the crime in which the child was apparently fed ground up prescription medication.

The mother, who is now in a psyche ward, had emailed a relative indicating that there was a problem. The police burst into the home only to find an incoherent mother babbling. And, the mother also left a suicide note suggesting that more information could be found on the computer. Obviously the crime lab has the computer and will be examining it for further information. Drug Possession was not an issue here.

The Law Firm of Steven Bilkis and Associates with its Suffolk County Criminal Lawyer could help a young father determine what and why his ex-wife would commit such a horrible crime. The autopsy was inconclusive and the child’s father who was distraught said the woman was a good mother and he couldn’t imagine why she would do such a thing. The father was also decidedly upset that his son was left unidentified when obviously relatives much closer to the family could have made the identification. He was planning to make the trek across the country to identify the little boy and hopefully gets some answers while planning a burial.

Detective Loses His Job and Could Use a New York Criminal Lawyer

by Stephen Bilkis

The thoughts of one woman trying to cause her husband, a veteran detective, to lose his job before he was killed by lacing his food with marijuana was determined to be untrue. The detective was fired and is now working as a security guard. His wife apparently smokes marijuana for back pain. However, this is one criminal act that just seems a bit odd and unclear.

The detective was found to have high levels of marijuana in his system based on hair samples. The union tried to argue that this was not an acceptable method of testing but the appeals court stated that the Commissioner was in charge of the situation and the choice of how to test the individual was non-negotiable. Situations like this are times when you will want to put your confidence in The Law Office of Steven Bilkis and Associates and its New York Criminal Lawyers. Just call 1-800-NYNY-Law for a free consultation with a New York Criminal Lawyer.

As it appears, this detective will not be getting his job back as the hair samples showed that the levels of marijuana in his system were not consistent with his food being laced with marijuana or the second hand smoke from his wife’s smoking the drug. The argument against the hair samples was in vain. The attorney for the detective said they are still seeking a way to get the decision over-turned so that the detective could return to work. The wife and the detective both seem to be in a particularly odd situation and one of them is obviously guilty of a criminal act.

by Stephen Bilkis

Police have been using online gaming to help catch thieves. A fugitive had been arrested for the sale of a controlled substance and the sale of marijuana in Illinois. He had managed to flee the country to avoid going to jail. Unfortunately he was addicted to the popular computer game “World of Warcraft.” The game, made by Blizzard Entertainment, is an online role playing where the players can interact with each other while controlling their avatar in fights and scheduled battles. Deputies in Illinois received a tip that the suspect was still an active player in the game. Blizzard Entertainment gave the man’s IP address, account and billing information to authorities. Once they had that information, they were able to find the fugitive in Ottowa, Canada. Canadian authorities aided in the arrest of the suspect.
