200 Bags of Heroin Recovered in High Street Arrest With Small Child Present

From the Middletown Police Department

On 08/12/09 at approximately 10 a.m. The Middletown Police Department Street Crime Unit with the assistance of the Detective Bureau and the Patrol Division executed a Search and Seizure Warrant at the residence of 656 High Street Apt (A). During the Street Crime Unit’s normal patrol of the cities north end we observed an abnormal amount of pedestrian traffic coming and going from said residence. We were also advised by neighboring citizens that they believed the residents of 656 High Street Apt (A) were possibly involved in some sort of criminal activity. This information prompted the Street Crime Unit to initiate an investigation.

Upon entry into said residence we encountered a small child in the area of the suspected Heroin that was recovered in the bedroom. Also in the apartment was 19 year old Jose Ramos who was later determined to have two active warrants from other jurisdictions. Ramos was subsequently placed under arrest and brought to Middletown Police Headquarters.

The target of our investigation Angel Gonzalez, 25, was arrested for the below charges. He was found to have over 200 bags of suspected Heroin.

• Possession of Heroin
• Possession of Heroin with intent to sell
• Possession of Marijuana Less than 4 oz.
• Risk of Injury to a Child
• Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

Gonzalez was held on a $300,000.00 Dollar Surety Bond. The total approx street value of the suspected narcotics is $2,300.00

Any citizen willing to give information concerning possible illegal activities is encouraged to contact Sergeant Chris Lavoie of the Street Crime Unit at 344-3259. All information will remain anonymous.
