Southampton Blotter: Man nabbed on felony drug charges in Riverside

A Mastic man accused of trying to sell marijuana, crack cocaine and heroin in Riverside last Thursday was arrested on felony drug charges, according to Southampton Town police.

Damion Walker, 40, was in a vehicle parked at a “known drug area with a group of known drug users,” the report states. When they noticed a police presence, they walked away from the vehicle and Mr. Walker sped off, officials said. Mr. Walker was then pulled over for an equipment violation, police said.

Upon exiting his vehicle, Mr. Walker took out a knotted plastic bag filled with marijuana and gave it to police, officials said. Police found two more bags: one filled with crack cocaine, the other with heroin, officials said. Police also found a “large quantity of money broken up into smaller portions, indicative of proceeds from narcotics sales,” the report states.

Mr. Walker was charged with two counts of fourth-degree criminal possession of narcotic drugs and third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, police said.
