Two in Eastwood
Arrested on Drug,
Weapons Charges
Two Island residents have been charged on multiple drug and weapons
counts after a December 3 search of an apartment at 510 Main Street.
Sean Christianson and Cindy Duran are to be arraigned in State Supreme
Court on felony charges that could result in sentences of up to seven
years, according to a press representative in the office of the
Manhattan District Attorney. In an initial court appearance December 4,
Christianson’s bail was set at $50,000, the representative said.
Christianson, whose age is listed as 25, allegedly had seven zip-lock
bags of cocaine and two of heroin in a dresser in his bedroom, along
with some marijuana, a Glock handgun and eleven bullets.
Under his bed, police say, they found a Desert Eagle pistol with six
bullets, an Uzi machine gun with 13 bullets, a 12-gauge sawed-off
shotgun, and a supply of various kinds of ammunition. Serial numbers
were scratched off all the weapons found, according to court papers.
Arraignment is set for January 11.
A spokesman for the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation said, in
response to a question about the involvement of the Island’s Public
Safety Department in the case, "The Roosevelt Island Public Safety
Department works closely with the NYPD and did so in this case, as
well." He provided no further details.
Doryne Isley of Roosevelt Island Housing Management, which manages 510
Main Street along with the rest of Eastwood, said that although she does
not yet have full information on the case, RIHMC’s normal procedure in
cases of this kind is to proceed with a "holdover action," which is an
eviction process used in cases other than non-payment of rent. |
