Beacon Man Accused Of Selling Cocaine

BEACON, NY — A Beacon man was arrested after being accused of selling cocaine.

The Dutchess County District Attorney’s Office Drug Task Force began an investigation several months ago related to dangerous drug sales in the city of Beacon.

The task force said Jerami Davis, 34, of Beacon, was selling the drug.

He was arrested Friday and arraigned in Dutchess County Court and charged with two counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, all felonies.

Davis was released to the supervision of Dutchess County Probation.

The Dutchess County District Attorney’s Office Drug Task Force warns the public that cocaine is often mixed with fentanyl, a dangerous drug that is the leading cause of overdose deaths in Dutchess County.
