Jeffrey C. Shaw, 44, of Yonkers, was arrested on May 8 following an investigation into the sale of crack cocaine.
A search warrant executed at 59 Classic Street in the Village of Hoosick Falls yielded approximately 50 grams of crack cocaine, digital scales, packaging materials, and $1,384 in U.S. currency.
The Hoosick Falls Police Department and a Troy Police Department K9 officer with K9 partner Norbi provided support during the operation.

Following his arraignment in Hoosick Village Court before Judge Thomas Restino, Jr., Shaw was remanded to the Rensselaer County Jail without bail due to prior felony drug convictions.
