Gang Member Sold Heroin In Northport, Suffolk County: Police

A gang member who sold drugs in Northport and across Suffolk County was arrested last week after authorities seized heroin, fentanyl and other items from his Central Islip home, police say.

Davon McNair, 23, a known member of the Bloods Street Gang, was suspected of selling heroin based on information gained by Northport Police after several unrelated arrests, police say. Undercover agents also purchased heroin from McNair on three different occasions over several months, which allowed authorities to apply for a search warrant, police say.

The search warrant was executed on Wednesday, Oct. 11 at McNair’s Wilson Boulevard apartment. Authorities seized 33 grams of heroin, 7 grams of fentanyl, $3,050 in cash, drug scales, drug packaging materials and a 2016 Honda, police say.

McNair was arrested a short distance away and was found to be in possession of crack cocaine, police say.

“Anyone who sells this poison in our Village can expect the Northport Police to pursue them to wherever their trail leads.” Northport Police Department Chief Bill Ricca said. “This case is yet another fine example of how the various layers of law enforcement in Suffolk County routinely work together to keep the residents safe.”

McNair was charged with five counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. He is being held on $100,000 bond/$50,000 cash bail.
