Major Investigation Leads To Poughkeepsie Housing Complex Raid

The Dutchess County District Attorney's Office, in a press release dated June 18, 2025, shared the details of a recent investigation and subsequent arrest of a local woman. The announcement comes after what was referred to as a 'targeted investigation into narcotics and dangerous drug sales within the Corlies Manor housing complex and surrounding area.'

The Task Force itself has a commitment to disrupting the sale of dangerous drugs in the community, and holding those who engage in these types of illegal activity accountable.

The Drug Task Force Agents, following the intel about the suspected activity, 'conducted a series of controlled purchases of narcotics from the suspect' in and around Corlies Manor, an apartment complex in Poughkeepsie.
