A Bay Shore man is facing felony drug charges after Suffolk County authorities say he ran a narcotics distribution operation out of his automotive garage in Deer Park.
According to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, the investigation into 41-year-old Uriel Rose began in June 2024, when Suffolk police launched a long-term probe into suspected cocaine sales at Rose’s business, “Beema Boyz.” Over the next 10 months, detectives conducted surveillance and, acting undercover, allegedly purchased cocaine from Rose on seven separate occasions.
On April 10, 2025, officers executed a search warrant at the garage. Rose was allegedly found trying to flee from the bathroom as police entered. Authorities say he had cocaine residue on his clothing and had attempted to flush a large amount of the drug down the toilet.
Despite the alleged attempt to destroy evidence, investigators recovered cocaine from the toilet and discovered more than eight ounces of cocaine in Rose’s office desk. Police also seized drug paraphernalia, including packaging materials, a heat sealer, digital scales, a hot plate used to cook crack cocaine, and a money counter. A significant amount of cash and a drug ledger were also recovered. In the office garbage, police allegedly found packaging labeled “Ahijado,” Spanish for “godson,” which they believe was used to transport kilograms of cocaine.
Rose was arraigned on April 30 before Acting Supreme Court Justice Philip Goglas on a 19-count indictment. He faces the following charges:
- One count of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the First Degree, a Class A-I felony
- Seven counts of Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance in the Third Degree, Class B felonies
- Eight counts of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Third Degree, Class B felonies
- One count of Tampering with Physical Evidence, a Class E felony
- Two counts of Criminally Using Drug Paraphernalia in the Second Degree, Class A misdemeanors
Goglas ordered Rose held on $1.5 million cash bail, $3 million bond, or a $6 million partially secured bond. He is due back in court on June 17 and faces 12 to 24 years in prison if convicted on the top charge.
“This case demonstrates our commitment to dismantling drug trafficking networks that threaten the safety and well-being of our community,” Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said. “We will continue to work diligently with our law enforcement partners to pursue those who profit from the distribution of dangerous substances.”
