Teen arrested after selling drugs to undercover narcotics investigator

KENT – An 18-year-old Town of Kent man was arrested after he allegedly sold narcotics to undercover members of the Putnam County Sheriff’s Narcotics Enforcement Unit.

Police late last year received information that Andrew Seibert of Route 52 in the Town of Kent was selling prescription drugs in the Lake Carmel area of Putnam County. The narcotics included Oxycodone and ecstasy pills.

An undercover officer infiltrated the operation and purchased the illegal substances from Seibert on several occasions during the past several months.

Seibert appeared in Carmel Town Court last week on an unrelated criminal charge. After his appearance, he was met by narcotics investigators who arrested him on three counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree and one count of criminal possession in the fourth degree.

He was arraigned and remanded to the Putnam County Jail in lieu of $2,000 bail.
