A 38-year-old New York corrections officer has pleaded not guilty to second degree conspiracy for his alleged role in a cocaine distribution network.
Norman Goode has been indicted by a Suffolk County grand jury after he and three other men were arrested March 30. Conspiracy in the second degree is a class B felony punishable by 8 1/3 to 25 years in prison.
Search warrants executed in eight Suffolk locations on March 29 resulted in the seizure of $5.2 million in cash, 462 pounds of cocaine and nine weapons, including three assault rifles. Detectives found approximately $1 million stuffed inside a foosball table in a Huntington Town residence and 55 kilos of cocaine stored in a "trap" behind the bucket seats of a Nissan sports car parked in the back yard of a Wheatley Heights home.
Suffolk County Court Judge Ralph Gazzillo ordered Goode, a Sheriff's department corrections officer since 2002, held in lieu of $5 million cash bail.
