Stock Island man charged with cocaine

Deputies following up on an anonymous tip about drug activity arrested a Stock Island man for possessing cocaine.

Deputies Lazaro Valdes and Freddy Rodriguez went to 6621 Maloney Avenue, Lot 17 at 11:30 a.m. and knocked on the door. Orlando Urbay answered the door. The deputies told him they had information there might be drug activity at the residence and asked permission to search inside. Urbay gave permission for them to search.

Urbay was cooperative. He told the deputies he’d purchased an ounce of cocaine the night before and had cooked it into a crack cocaine cookie. A fan running in the bedroom was being used to dry the cookie. He also voluntarily handed over a pill bottle which he was keeping under his pillow; it was full of crack cocaine rocks.

A total of 23 grams of cocaine were recovered from the home. Urbay was arrested. He was charged with possession of cocaine and was booked into jail.
