The New York State Police Community Narcotics Enforcement Team, NYSP Special

Dog control responded to Shaw Street to tranquilize a vicious Rottweiler that
was guarding the heroin.
Carlos N. Silvagnoli, 39 and
Rachel Aviles, 38, both of Shaw Street were arrested for criminal possession of
a controlled substance with intent to sell.
34-year-old Aaron T. Ware was also arrested for absconding from parole from the
Bronx area. He was turned over to State Police and will return to state prison.
