A stolen vehicle alert led Haverstraw police to a 49-year-old Pomona man who authorities say was found with a large quantity of narcotics.
According to the Haverstraw Police Department, officers were alerted Tuesday, Aug. 11, after a license plate reader notification indicated that a stolen vehicle was entering the Village of Haverstraw.
Police later located the vehicle in Pomona and took the occupant into custody without incident.
The suspect was identified as Diamond Dickerson, 49, of Pomona.
During the investigation, police said Dickerson was found in possession of a large quantity of narcotics.
Dickerson was charged with:
- Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Third Degree — Narcotic Drug with Intent to Sell, a Class B felony
- Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Third Degree — Narcotic Drug/Stimulant with Intent to Sell, a Class B felony
- Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Fourth Degree, a Class C felony
- Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Fifth Degree with Intent to Sell, a Class D felony
- Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in the Fourth Degree — Motor Vehicle, a Class E felony
- Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in the Fifth Degree, a Class A misdemeanor
Dickerson was transported to the Haverstraw Police Department for processing before being arraigned in West Haverstraw Village Justice Court.
He was remanded to the Rockland County Correctional Facility.
The Haverstraw Police Department said the investigation was conducted with assistance from the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Rockland County Intelligence Center.
The charges are allegations. A criminal complaint is not proof of guilt, and Dickerson is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
