Suffolk County district attorney Raymond A. Tierney recently announced the indictment of Uriel Rose, 41, of Bay Shore, accused of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the first degree, and several other related charges, for allegedly possessing more than eight ounces of cocaine while running a narcotics distribution operation from his auto garage.

“This case demonstrates our commitment to dismantling drug trafficking networks that threaten the safety and well-being of our community,” said Tierney. “We will continue to work diligently with our law enforcement partners to pursue those who profit from the distribution of dangerous substances.”

According to the investigation, in June 2024 the Suffolk County Police Department began a long-term investigation into the drug distribution that Rose allegedly ran out of “Beema Boyz,” an automotive shop he owned and operated located in Deer Park. During the 10-months long investigation, police conducted surveillance, and a detective, acting in an undercover capacity, allegedly bought cocaine from Rose on seven separate occasions. On April 10, 2025, police executed a search warrant at the garage. Upon the police breeching the business, Rose was apprehended after he allegedly attempted to run from the bathroom toward the exit.

He was allegedly found with what appeared to be cocaine residue on his clothing. It was determined Rose had allegedly flushed much of the cocaine he possessed at the time of the execution of the warrant down the toilet. During the execution of the warrant, officers allegedly recovered a quantity of cocaine from the toilet and over eight ounces of cocaine from Rose’s office desk. Police also allegedly recovered cash, a money counter, drug ledgers, a hot plate used for cooking crack-cocaine, and drug paraphernalia which included scales, packaging, and heat sealer.

In the garbage can of the office, police allegedly discovered packages believed to transport kilograms of cocaine, that were labeled “Ahijado,” which translates to the word “godson” in Spanish.

On April 30, 2025, Rose was arraigned on the indictment before Acting Supreme Court Justice Philip Goglas for the following charges contained in the indictment:

· 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; and

· Two counts of criminally using drug paraphernalia, Class A misdemeanors.

Justice Goglas ordered Rose held on $1,500,000 cash, $3,000,000 bond or $6,000,000 partially secured bond during the pendency of the case. Rose is due back in court on June 17, 2025, and faces 12 to up to 24 years in prison if convicted on the top count. He is being represented by Matt Touhy, Esq.

This case is being prosecuted by Danielle Davis and Tess Andrew of the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Narcotics Bureau, and the investigation was conducted the Suffolk County Police Department’s Narcotics’ Section.
