Westchester County Police have announced the arrest of eight people on drug charges following a raid on two cottages in a Mohegan Lake Community.

The raid followed an investigation into alleged drug activity at the two homes, 3195 and 3211 East Main Street in the Mohegan Lake section of Cortlandt off Route 6.

The eight were taken into custody after cops found quantities of cocaine, crack cocaine, marijuana and prescripton medication in the homes.

Each of the eight has been charged with 3rd Degree Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance (Intent to Sell), a felony.

Under arrest are 32 year old Sylvia Ellis of Peekskill, 22 year old Yenny Alfaro of Mohegan Lake, 33 year old Joe Wilson of Peekskill, 25 year old Jamal Wilson of Peekskill, 38 year old Clifford Ellis of Peekskill, 37 year old Carl Culberson of Mohegan Lake, 25 year old Perry Freeman of Mohegan Lake and 34 year old Kevin Ellis of Peekskill.

The raids were carried out by the Westchester County Department of Publi Safety and the Peekskill Police Department. 

Two others were arrested during the operation. 24 year old Shaniqua Oglesby of Mohegan Lake was charged with Endangering the Welfare of a Child after cops say she dropped off her 3 year old child at the home and found to be in possession of a small amount of marijuana when she returned.

28 year old Rolando Williams of Peekskill was charged with 3rd Degree Menacing, Obstruction of Governmental Administration and 2nd Degree Resisting Arrest, police say, after he made threatening remarks to officers and interfered with police conducting the raids. 

The suspects were arraigned in Croton Village Court and remanded to the Westchester County Jail in Valhalla without bail. They are due back in Cortlandt Town Court on Friday.
