Attorney General Spitzer, State Police Superintendent Wayne Bennett, Albany County District Attorney David Soares, Albany Mayor Gerald Jennings, and Albany Police Chief James Tuffey today announced the indictments of 29 individuals charged with narcotics trafficking in Albany’s South End neighborhood stemming from an investigation dubbed "Operation Fast Food." The charges, contained in three separate indictments, were unsealed today before Supreme Court Justice Joseph C. Teresi, and allege that the defendants were part of a crack and cocaine distribution network that stretched from New York City into Albany’s neighborhoods. More than three and one-half pounds of cocaine - possessing a street value of $150,000 - were seized during the investigation. "Prosecutors, investigators, and state and local law-enforcement have teamed up to curtail the flow of drugs and incidents of gang violence in communities across New York," Spitzer said. "This latest effort will help make an Albany neighborhood safer and more secure." New York State Police Superintendent Wayne E. Bennett said: "Through the coordinated efforts of the State Attorney General’s Office, the New York State Police, and the Albany Police Department, the indictments announced today exemplify the commitment to make Albany a safer place. Drug trafficking has long been the fuel for gang violence and proliferation. Gang activity has plagued a number of our communities and threatens the quality of life in our communities and our children’s futures. These indictments put gang members on notice that their activities will not be tolerated." Albany County District Attorney David Soares said: "In January 2005, I promised that predatory criminals will be one of the number one targets of prosecution. This is an excellent example of our promise to have a tough and smart approach on crime—especially mid- to high-level drug dealers. These types of high-level, long-term and strategic investigations are conducted with the help and coordinated efforts by the New York State Attorney General’s Office - Organized Crime Task Force and local law enforcement agencies. It is our hope that this will aid in our programs such as the Safe Homes Safe Streets Initiative towards the stabilization of neighborhoods and to deter newcomers from entering and continuing business in the South End of Albany."

The investigation began in October 2005 as part of an effort by the Attorney General’s Organized Crime Task Force (OCTF) to assist the Albany Police Department in combating emerging violent drug gangs in the Albany area. Working with additional investigative resources contributed by the State Police and the Albany County District Attorney’s Office, investigators were able to identify Pedro Payano-Abru 35, and Victor Rosa, 21, of New York City as the alleged suppliers, who were providing large amounts of cocaine to alleged dealers in the Albany area, notably Steven McGill, 36; Winfield Nicholson, 32; and Everette Tune, 31, all of Albany.
The cocaine would then be delivered to defendant William Wheeler, 35 of Albany, who would break it into smaller packages for delivery to others, including Prince Hines. Hines, 23, of Albany, utilized Alex Price, 21, of Albany to "cook" cocaine and convert it to crack. Hines employed at least eight of the other co-defendants to sell the cocaine on Albany street corners for as little as $20 a package.
They were assisted in the investigation by: OCTF investigators Dennis Tomasone, Jeff Sauter, Frank Kovacs, and the OCTF technical unit under the supervision of Investigator William Charles; Major Jack McCabe , Lieutenant Steve James, and Senior Investigator Sam Mercado of the New York State Police C-NET; Supervisor John Lowery of the New York State Division of Parole; and Assistant Chief Steve Krokoff, Sergeant Brian Quinn, and Sergeant Jeff Roberts of the Albany Police Department.
