Here’s a new twist on ordering “coke” and a slice.
A Sunset Park pizza delivery man was using his Papa John’s job as a cover for cocaine dealing, city narcotics prosecutors said in announcing his arrest this afternoon.
Ramon Rodriguez, 45, dealt coke to an undercover cop while still wearing his Papa John’s uniform, handing over as much as a kilo at a time by stashing the drugs inside an insulated pizza delivery bag and handing them over right outside the store, along with a pizza box or a box of chicken nuggets, according to investigators.
A total of $45,000 in cocaine was dealt during a total 19 sales over the past two years, according to an indictment brought by Bridget Brennan, the city’s Special Narcotics Prosecutor.
Rodriguez, of 9th Avenue in Brooklyn, has been charged with first degree criminal sale of a controlled substance.
