Daryl Qu Johnson, aka, Daryl Qu Maise, 53, and Heath S. Black, 50, were arrested around 6:40 p.m. Thursday, May 17, when City of Newburgh Police officers, along with the New York Police Community Stabilization Unit, conducted a search warrant at a storefront located at 198 Broadway, said Sgt. Christopher Lahar.

The search warrant was a result of a several month long investigation into narcotics sales from the location, he added.

Officers searched the storefront and recovered 113 grams of cocaine, approximately $3,700 in cash, and miscellaneous drug paraphernalia including false bottom cans commonly used to conceal narcotics, Lahar said.

Both were charged with two felony counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance.
