Talk about “designer drugs.”
Two well-heeled Fashion Institute of Technology coeds who are regulars on the Chelsea club scene were busted last night for running a coke ring from their dorm, police sources said.
Christine Scafa, 22, of Princeton Junction, NJ, and Mickenzie Dippenworth, 21, of Bel Air, Md., are suspected of supplying students at the school and other patrons from the club scene with cocaine over the past month, according to the sources.
“Oh, my God, are you guys serious!” Dippenworth yelled to photographers as the giggling pair were led from the Seventh Precinct station house last night.
“We’re not Plaxico Burress!” said Scafa before an older man interrupted. “Christine, don’t say anything,” he told her.
But Dippenworth chuckled back, “Well, I’m a Plaxico Burress fan.”
The pair, wearing puffy down jackets and their supplier, Raymond Alameda, 29, would drop off the coke at their dorm, where it would be sold, according to Lt. Brian Murphy of the NYPD’s Vice Club Initiative.
The scheme began to unravel in early November, after Dippenworth – a former Girl Scout – allegedly sold an undercover cop about $100 worth of cocaine at the West 27th Street hotspot Home, and told him to contact her if he wanted more.
That encounter led to led to a series of seven more sales to undercover cops involving the two girls and Alameda totaling about a half-ounce, the sources said.
Scafa – who finished this year’s New York City Marathon in just over five hours – and Dippenworth were picked up last night and are awaiting arraignment today on multiple counts of cocaine possession and sale.
“I don’t know what their motivation was,” Murphy said.
“They come from very good backgrounds as far as we can tell.”
Neither family could be reached for comment last night.
Alameda, who has eight prior arrests, including a sealed case for attempted murder as a juvenile, was busted yesterday morning with $1,300 in cash in his pockets.
He, too, is facing charges of cocaine sale and possession charges.
It’s believed he met the women near his home on West 27 Street, a housing project down the block from their dorm, police said.
