A former officer with New York City police department was arrested Thursday and charged with selling fentanyl and heroin while federal prosecutors also accused her of negotiating drug deals on the job. Grace Rosa Baez, 37, of the Bronx, who had been employed with the NYPD since 2012, is charged with conspiracy to distribute heroin and fentanyl and three counts of narcotics distribution, according to a Friday statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
That substance was later determined to be heroin after testing, prosecutors said. After Baez’s arrest Thursday, law enforcement were at the apartment she shared with Martinez and saw “a package of suspected narcotics being thrown from inside the apartment to outside the apartment,” prosecutors said. “Inside the apartment, law enforcement discovered a kilogram press machine, as well as additional suspected narcotics that MARTINEZ had apparently attempted to throw outside.
