Yesterday, the Village Voice posted these photos of signs taped to the doors of Santos Party House, saying they were ordered closed because of "criminal sale or possession of controlled substances, marihuana [sic], or for any other violation of Articles 220 and/or 221 of New York State Penal Law." Undercover cops allege that they were able to purchase ecstasy in June and marijuana in July. They were also allegedly offered cocaine by "a female who was promoting party she was to host the following week at the subject premises" in August. Police arrested the woman the two men who were selling marijuana on the spot, but told the Voice, "It cannot be denied that the subject premises is a serious public nuisance, and as such should not be allowed to remain open even one more day."

A man arrested for a traffic infraction was then charged with drug possession after cops found his stash in the back of the patrol car. Steven Perez was stopped at Perot Street at 1 a.m. on Thursday and charged with driving without a license, but ended up dropping two bags of marijuana and nine green pills—later identified as ecstasy—in the back of the car after he was taken in. Nine seems like a pretty odd number, so we can probably assume he was having a totally killer trip in the back of the car. more ›

Today's lesson: If you consumed enough booze to have a blood alcohol level of 0.22—the legal limit is 0.08—you shouldn't be driving! The Post reports, "A public-school teacher whose blood-alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit struck an off-duty cop's car early yesterday in The Bronx, sources said." Plus, cops "found a small amount of marijuana in her purse. Dana Grippon...was [driving] westbound on East 161st Street in Melrose at 5:15 a.m. when she tried to turn onto Courtland Avenue," and ended up colliding with a car going in the opposite direction. The off-duty cop driving the other car "suffered bruises and minor neck injuries." Grippon was charged with DWI and drug possession. more ›

After a woman set a pit bull on cops, prompting them to fatally shoot the dog in an Upper East Side public housing building on Tuesday night, there are some inevitable arrests: NY1 reports that the dog's owner, Milagros Martinez, and five others were arrested on "charges of possession of a controlled substance after police said they found crack residue in a crack pipe." Martinez was also previously evicted; according to the Daily News, she was "booted from her First Ave. apartment in April for not paying rent - but a judge let her back in." Apparently she was evicted because her husband was arrested "in a kiddie-toy drug bust," but was allowed back after paying back rent; Mayor Bloomberg said, "We had disagreed violently with the judge that let these people go back into their apartment." The News also spoke to the neighbor who claims she called 911 on Tuesday because she was "sick of the drugs" in the apartment; the woman felt bad about the dog's death, "I cried. But I feel the dog's probably in a better place than being with them." more ›

So, CNN personality Richard Quest was arrested early Friday morning for drug possession when police found in Central Park well after the park's 1 a.m. curfew. Sure, the initial reports said Quest told police he was carrying methamphetamime in his pocket, but leave it to the NY Post to add the really detailed details. more ›
