Four charged with heroin dealing in central-south Nassau

Three Merrick men and one East Meadow man were arrested and charged last week with heroin dealing in Merrick and Bellmore in September, Nassau County police said.

According to detectives, Daniel Cymerys, 30, of Poppy Street in East Meadow, and Raymond Budney, 33, of Bedford Avenue in Merrick, “agreed to sell heroin” for cash on several dates in September.

Nassau-Suffolk Heroin Task Force detectives arrested the two on Sept. 27. Cymerys, police said, was found with six bags of heroin when he was arrested. Budney agreed to a search of his room. There, officials said they found $16,480 in cash and 305 wax-paper packets with a “powdery substance believed to be heroin.”

On Sept. 27, police said, Kyle Gleason, 32, of Riverside Avenue, and Colin Poore, 34, of Reid Avenue, agreed to sell heroin for cash in Bellmore. A small, clear-plastic bag with four white, round pills, with the imprint “ASC 116,” believed to be methadone hydrochloride, and $1,368 in cash were discovered in Gleason’s vehicle.

Cymerys and Budney were charged with three counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and three counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance.

Gleason and Poore were charged with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal sale of controlled substance.

The Nassau County Police Department is continuing their investigation looking for any possible relation between the two sets of arrests, but there appears to be no connection at this time.

The four were arraigned in First District Court in Hempstead on Sept. 28. At press time, the Herald was awaiting word on how they pleaded.

Attorneys for the four could not be reached at press time.
