Rockville Centre heroin dealer convicted

On June 28, William Green of Old Mill Court pled guilty to several drug related felony charges.

Green was sentenced to three years in prison and agreed to the forfeiture of $20,000 cash that was seized during his arrest. Green, an admitted heroin user, is on lifetime parole after numerous past narcotics convictions.

The sentencing follows Green's arrest by Rockville Centre Police detectives in March. Rockville Centre detectives learned that Green was selling approximately 1,000 bags of heroin per week two 30 different customers in Rockville Centre and Lakeview.

Upon his arrest, police searched his home and seized a significant amount of heroin, as well as the $20,000 in cash.

Police Commissioner Charles Gennario reiterated that serious criminal behavior will not be tolerated and that when caught, they will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
