Rockland County, NY – Rockland County District Attorney Thomas E. Walsh II announced that Darryl Wright, 41, of Pearl River, was arrested and charged with first degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. This arrest followed of a six-month investigation by the Rockland District Attorney’s Drug Task Force into narcotics sales in Orangetown.
