The Dutchess County District Attorney’s Office Drug Task Force reports the arrest of Tommy Houston, age 48, related to narcotic sales in the Poughkeepsie area.

District Attorney Anthony Parisi said, “Today’s arrest is another example of the aggressive, intelligence-driven approach our Drug Task Force is taking to combat narcotics trafficking and the violence that so often accompanies it. We are not simply waiting for drug activity to come to our attention, we are identifying the individuals and criminal networks responsible for driving narcotics sales in our communities, building strong cases against them, and taking decisive enforcement action. Those who choose to profit from selling dangerous drugs in Dutchess County should understand that our Drug Task Force is actively looking for you, and we will continue working relentlessly to identify, investigate, and prosecute those who threaten the safety of our neighborhoods.”
