NYPD officer, boyfriend arrested on federal drug charges
An NYPD officer and her live-in boyfriend were arrested Thursday for allegedly distributing fentanyl and heroin in New York City, federal prosecutors said Friday.
Officer Grace Rosa Baez and her boyfriend Cesar Martinez were charged in Manhattan federal court Friday with one count of conspiracy to distribute narcotics and three counts of distributing narcotics, according to the office of Damian Williams, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. The defendants face at least 10 years in prison to life in prison under federal drug statutes, depending on which charges they are convicted of, if any.
The charges resulted from an investigation carried out this month by law enforcement officials working with an unnamed “confidential source,” per SDNY.An attorney for Baez could not immediately be reached for comment. Martinez’s attorney Jill Shellow declined to comment. “These charges are extremely troubling because there is no place for corruption within the NYPD,” Police Commissioner Edward Caban said in a prepared statement. “If found guilty of these allegations, this officer will have tarnished the shield that she wore, as well as her sacred oath to New Yorkers.”
Baez appeared before Judge James Cott on Friday and was released on a $100,000 bond and bail conditions including home detention and electronic monitoring, according to SDNY spokesperson Nicholas Biase.Gov. Kathy Hochul said the hotline and an online form for reporting hate and bias incidents will help New Yorkers “quickly get the help they need.
