Larchmont PD in Multi-Agency Drug Sweep; Ringleader Dead in Bronx Shootout
by Judy Silberstein

(December 7, 2005) Three members of the Larchmont police force took part in “Operation Drugfellas” that had local, county, state, federal and New York City law enforcement fanning out across Westchester and the Bronx on Tuesday, December 6 to execute 20 search warrants and make arrests in a drug ring alleged to have sold more than $1 million worth of cocaine during the past 5 months. The suspected ringleader, 29-year-old Michael “Chunk” Londonio, was killed in an early morning shootout at his home in the Throgs Neck section of the Bronx that also left two NY State troopers with non-lethal injuries, according to an announcement from Westchester District Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office.

The drug sales are alleged to have occurred across the county, including one in the Village of Larchmont in August. According to Lt. Walter Burke of the Larchmont Police Department, the Larchmont police were alerted by Westchester DA investigators that a suspected “drug carrier” would be making a sale to an employee in a local restaurant. Detective Sgt. William Walsh and Detective James Cristiano observed a cocaine sale and later arrested the purchaser (whose name and employer were not released). So as not to jeopardize the ongoing investigation, the seller, 22-year-old Mark “Choda” Fiore, was not detained.

This Tuesday, the same two detectives along with Lt. Burke, members of the DA’s task force, a NY State trooper and a NYC police officer converged on Mr. Fiore’s Bronx home and were able to arrest the suspect without incident. “Choda was playing computer games at 6 am in his mother’s apartment” when the police appeared, reported Detective Sgt. Walsh.

Why so much law enforcement to pick up one drug seller? “We didn’t know what we would encounter,” said Lt. Burke. “So we went with enough personnel to ensure a safe, effective arrest.” Given the shootout that occurred just a few blocks from where the Larchmont officers were operating, the precaution appears to have been well-taken. “Dealing with how serious the charges were, I‘m surprised there was only one incident of gunfire,” said Larchmont’s Detective Sgt. Walsh. “They‘re facing some significant jail sentences,” he pointed out.

The DA's office commended the Larchmont police for their assistance and Larchmont Police Chief Steve Rubeo noted “they did an outstanding job.” He singled out Detectives Walsh and Christiano for their “diligent efforts in working hand and hand with the Westchester County Drug Initiative Task Force."

According to a Journal News account, the shooting at Mr. Londonio’s home began when the suspect exited his bedroom firing a revolver. NY State Trooper Peter Verdesi was hit in the leg, and Trooper Mark Ennis escaped serious injury when bullets were deflected from his protective vest and helmet. The Larchmont police were issued similar protective gear, according to Chief Rubeo.

News of drug sales in an affluent suburban setting such as Larchmont may take some residents by surprise. But Chief Rubeo commented, “We’re no different from any other community. Drugs are prevalent throughout our society and drug dealers tend to gravitate towards establishments with late-night hours and a 20- to 30-year-old clientele.”

Wonder if Fiore is related to Arthur Fiore, Bronx drug guy in the 70s.

Does he do the Truffle Shuffle?

This was a Goonies reference by the way.

A low-key Oregon family, mainly involved in restaurant and pirate ship rackets. As we speak, they’re quietly rebuilding their ranks from the shadows.

They are the Astoria Crew of that Portland family that B. speculated on.

I think this keeps coming up because these guys can’t be found on the federal inmate locator. Even cosanostra news speculated on this. I’ve been following since the beginning none of these guys in this case have showed on the bop site the crews just got on there recently. From what I understand the reason none of them were on the site is cuz they were held in westchester county jail before and during trial and haven’t got their long term placements yet

I've said it in the past,when fighting a Federal Case ,sometimes you can be held in a State facility if your not sentenced . Like these guys in Westchester(a state of NY county jail) fighting a Federal Case ...They will not come up in the Federal Inmate BOP Search because they are not being housed in a Federal Correctional Center they will be found on the State D.O.C. inmate search website and will say Federal chargesor Federal Detainer. These sites are updated daily the minute they get to a Federal Facility it will come up on the Federal Search.You are found based on what type of facility you are housed in Federal or State and will be found in whichevers inmate search..

Westchester County Jail is part Federal ,3rd floor , Gotti JR and Depalma were held there
