Somerville man arrested in 'dial-a-high' drug deal NEW YORK (AP) Police gumshoes on the track of a drug delivery ring let their fingers do the walking, phoning in a one-kilogram order of cocaine and then busting the alleged deliverymen who showed up within the hour.

"It's called dial-a-high," said Lt. Ed LeSchack, a police department spokesman. "A new fad in drug dealing." The case began Friday night with a routine buy-and-bust operation, in which a Somerville man was arrested, in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan. It ended two hours later after police convinced one of their suspects to phone in an order to his suppliers. The delivery was made one block from the 23rd Precinct station house in East Harlem.

"We wanted them to come to the station house, to the second floor," said Officer Frank Bose, "but we thought they might get wise." Bose, of the department's anti-crack squad, said a plainclothes detective posing as a junkie asked a drug dealer in midtown Manhattan to help him make a buy, and followed the dealer uptown to Broadway and Audubon Avenue. The gumshoe bought about a gram of cocaine, then radioed for backup and busted four men on drug possession and sale charges: Lloyd Fisher, 29, of Somerville; and Felix Polanco, 17, Louis Gomez, 29, and Julio Gomez, 32, of Manhattan. Detectives convinced one of the men to cooperate Bose would not say who and at 9 p.m. the informer called in a one-kilo order from the 23rd Precinct station house on 102nd Street amd Third Avenue. The price was $23,000.

Within the hour, a livery cab drove up to the drop-off spot, 103rd Street and Lexington Avenue, and police moved in, arresting two men and seizing a 2.2-pound block of high-quality cocaine. "This stuff looks like it came right off the boat." Bose said. "It's in solid brick form and looking pretty pure." Livery cab driver Tilson Marte, 32, and Socorro Rodriguez, 30, both of Manhattan, were charged with drug possession and sale, the officer said. The investigation is continuing. 54 arrested at county park Following is a list ot the 44 adults arrested during a three-dav sweep at Duke Island Park in Bridgewaier this weekend and charges against mem.
