Sterling A. Gray Jr. A North Syracuse resident who was arrested on drug charges May 11 had been selling crack cocaine to undercover officers for three months, police said. Officers found another seven-tenths of a gram of crack cocaine and about two grams of marijuana in his bedroom, Stassi said.
New equipment arrives North Syracuse police are making some upgrades to equipment in the department.
Police received the replacement May 14 for the undercover car that was wrecked in a car accident. The department is getting some of the tools, such as the police radio, put into the 2001 Chevrolet that will be used as the new police car, Chief David Wilkinson said. He expects it to be in service by the end of this week. The car was wrecked in an accident March 30 on Bear Road when a car pulled out in front of Detective Mike Stassi, who was pursing a motorist suspected of drunken driving. The car hit Stassi's vehicle and sent the car into a telephone pole and some trees.
