Two men have been indicted for allegedly selling cocaine out of their East Northport residence.
Sean P. Kilkelly, 29, and Paul Poschmann, 44, were indicted for first-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and other related charges.
On June 25, members of the Suffolk County Police Department’s Narcotics Section executed a search warrant at Kilkelly and Poschmann’s residence in East Northport. During that search, police allegedly recovered more than four ounces of cocaine from Poschmann’s bedroom and over one-eighth of an ounce of cocaine from Kilkelly’s bedroom, along with cash and drug paraphernalia. Poschmann and Kilkelly were arrested at the scene.
Poschmann was arraigned on July 10 on one count of first-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, a Class A-I felony; one count of second-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and two counts of second-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, all Class A-II felonies; two counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and six counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, all Class B felonies; and two counts of second-degree criminal using drug paraphernalia, both Class A misdemeanors.

“The distribution of illegal drugs tears at the fabric of our community, destroys lives, and fosters crime,” said Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney. “This indictment represents our office’s steadfast determination to disrupt the flow of narcotics into our neighborhoods. We will continue to work tirelessly with our law enforcement partners to investigate and prosecute those accused of peddling poison on our streets.”
