Anthony Servider, a 50-year-old man from Greenport, New York, has been arrested after a lengthy drug sales investigation in Columbia County. State police conducted a search warrant at Servider’s home on Joslen Boulevard on March 28, following a multi-agency investigation. During the search, officers found a significant amount of various drugs including MDA, ketamine, ecstasy, LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, DMT, heroin, and meth. They also discovered around $16,000 in cash, three handguns, four long guns, and ammunition in the residence. Servider was arrested as a result of the search and is facing numerous charges related to drug possession and weapons.
The charges against Servider include second-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, six counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, three counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, two counts of fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, three counts of criminal possession of a firearm, three counts of fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and three counts of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. After being arraigned at the Town of Greenport Court, Servider was remanded to the Columbia County Jail without bail.
The discovery of a large quantity of drugs, cash, firearms, and ammunition in Servider’s home highlights the extent of his alleged drug operation in the area. The presence of drugs such as MDA, ketamine, ecstasy, LSD, and psilocybin mushrooms indicates that Servider was involved in the distribution of a variety of illegal substances. Additionally, the seizure of firearms and ammunition suggests potential involvement in illegal activities beyond drug sales, leading to the multiple weapon possession charges against him.
The seizure of such a significant amount of drugs and weapons during the search warrant demonstrates the thoroughness of the investigation conducted by state police and other agencies. The collaboration between law enforcement agencies likely played a crucial role in uncovering the extent of Servider’s alleged criminal activities. The arrest and charges against Servider serve as a warning to others involved in illegal drug sales and possession that law enforcement is actively working to combat such activities in the community.
Servider’s arrest and the subsequent charges he is facing paint a picture of a serious criminal operation involving the distribution of various drugs and the illegal possession of firearms. The seizure of a large amount of drugs, cash, and weapons in his home underscores the potential dangers posed by individuals engaged in such activities. The case serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts by law enforcement to address drug-related crimes and maintain the safety and security of communities in Columbia County and beyond.

Why focus on small-time dealers when big fish roam free? Priorities, people!
Small-time dealers may seem insignificant, but they perpetuate the cycle of drug abuse in communities.

Priorities matter at all levels.

Maybe because small-time drug busts have a big impact on local communities and can lead to bigger arrests down the line. Its about dismantling the entire network, starting from the bottom. Plus, every bust means fewer drugs on the streets. Just my two cents.
