Grace Rosa Baez, 37, and Cesar Martinez, 43, were charged with conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and heroin and narcotics distribution.
The U.S. Attorney's Office of the Southern District of New York announced the charges against them Friday.
From 2012 up until the date of her arrest, Baez had been employed as a police officer with the NYPD. In 2020, the NYPD began to investigate Baez following accusations of misconduct, and she was placed on modified duty. During these discussions, Baez and Martinez offered to sell the confidential source kilogram quantities of fentanyl, heroin and cocaine, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. At one point, Baez allegedly told the source that the fentanyl was top quality and directed the source to meet her on October 16 to obtain a sample of the drugs for sale.
