Passaic County Man Faces Drug Charges
A 56-year-old Paterson man has been recently arrested by authorities who say he dealt narcotic substances from his house. According to a news report in the Herald News, officials searched and found a small quantity of cocaine and cash at the address of 2 Chadwick St. near Weiss Street, the residence of Carlos Cordero.
Cordero apparently was under investigation for some weeks by the narcotics task force of the Passaic County Prosecutor's Office which ended with the search that was carried out under warrant. Officials say a Public School is located near Cordero's residence and charged him with drug possession, drug possession with intention to distribute and drug possession with intention to distribute in close proximity to a school.
