Undercover cops bust two drug dealers Who sold coke near Manhattan College, Brooklyn College: Police

School’s out for two drug dealers found selling cocaine near two city college campuses, officials said Wednesday.A 29-year-old man who lives near the Manhattan College campus in Riverdale, the Bronx, was busted for selling more than $6,600 in cocaine to undercover officers, officials said.In an unrelated investigation, a 46-year-old employee of Brooklyn College in Flatbush was arrested for selling cocaine outside one of the school’s main buildings, officials said."There is no place in our communities for narcotics trafficking, especially on our college campuses,” Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said in announcing the arrests Wednesday.Victor Vigniero of Riverdale is facing multiple narcotics charges after the NYPD and members of New York City’s Special Narcotics Prosecutor’s office learned he was selling cocaine to students at the 162-year-old Catholic institution.A member of the Manhattan College community tipped police off to Vigniero, who was never enrolled in the college.Undercover officers bought cocaine from Vigniero more than a dozen times between February and August, officials said.Cops also managed to track down Vigniero’s supplier — his cousin Osvaldo Espaillat, 31, who lived nearby on Kingsbridge Ave. near W. 234th St. in Kingsbridge, authorities said.When cops raided their homes, they recovered about four ounces of cocaine from both places, officials said.Vigniero’s drugs were found hidden in his toilet, officials said. Espaillat apparently liked to keep his drugs underfoot — so he stashed them in his ottoman, officials said.Two young children were in Espaillat’s apartment when cops raided it, officials said.Vigniero and Espaillat were hit with multiple drug offenses and were ordered held in Manhattan criminal court on more than $100,000 bail, according to a spokeswoman for the Special Narcotics Prosecutor’s Office.As investigators were peeling the onion on the Manhattan College drug case, they arrested Javon High, a maintenance worker at Brooklyn College who was accused of selling cocaine to undercover cops on nine separate occasions.Most of the sales, which occurred between April and July, took place outside of James Hall, where several classes are held.High sold drugs while working and, one time, wore his work uniform when he made a transaction, officials said. He had worked with the school for six years, officials said.The maintenance worker was arrested on multiple drug offenses on July 23 and was released after making $50,000 bail, officials said.Calls to Brooklyn College for comment were not immediately returned.
