Drug Task Force Conducts Early Morning Raids Capturing Two Alleged Fentanyl Dealers
The Dutchess County Drug Task Force reports the arrest of Kenyatta Jackson, from the City of Poughkeepsie, age 33, and Zaccia Curtis, age 21, for two counts of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance with intent to sell 3rd degree, a Class B Felony with other charges pending.
The Dutchess County Drug Task Force has been continuing to aggressively investigate drug dealers who sell poison in our communities. On 10/25/23, during the early morning hours the Dutchess County Drug Task Force, Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Service Unit, and the City of Poughkeepsie Police Neighborhood Recovery Unit executed search warrants at the residences of Kenyatta Jackson and Zaccia Curtis who both reside in the City of Poughkeepsie at separate locations. Zaccia Curtis is currently on Dutchess County Probation as a result of a weapons conviction earlier this year.
These raids are the result of an ongoing DTF investigation into Fentanyl and narcotic sales in the City and Town of Poughkeepsie. Upon executing both warrants, a quantity of Fentanyl, cocaine, and other narcotics were seized at both
addresses and both Mr. Jackson and Mr. Curtis were taken into custody without incident. Both suspects are being held pending arraignment in the City of Poughkeepsie Justice Court later this morning. The Drug Task Force will aggressively target poison dealers in Dutchess County to prevent senseless and preventable overdose deaths in Dutchess County. The Dutchess County Drug Task Force is warning residents of Dutchess County that Fentanyl and drugs like crack cocaine that are mixed with Fentanyl, are not just deadly to individuals struggling with drug addiction, but are dangerous to everyone that may incidentally have contact with this poison.
