On February 5, 2026, at approximately 1:53 p.m., members of the Troop K Community Stabilization Unit, in conjunction with the New York State Police Special Investigations Unit, conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle traveling southbound on the Hutchinson River Parkway in the City of White Plains for multiple violations of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law.

State Police K-9 Vinn conducted an exterior scan of the vehicle, which resulted in a positive alert for the presence of narcotics.

A subsequent search of the vehicle revealed an aftermarket, electronically operated hidden compartment located within the vehicle. The compartment concealed multiple packages containing fentanyl, weighing more than 1,500 grams.

As a result of the investigation, the sole occupant was arrested and charged with the following:

  • Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance 1st, an A-I felony

The operator was arraigned in the Town of Greenburgh Court and remanded to the Westchester County Jail.

This investigation remains ongoing. No further details will be released at this time.
