For the kingpin with sensitive skin …
A drug dealer who needed to cart a pound of newly processed heroin out of a Queens stash house this past summer allegedly came up with a novel carrying case: a tub of Huggies baby wipes.
The tub, decorated with cartoon drawings of a frolicking Piglet, Tigger and Pooh, is now among the hard — yet somehow still soft and refreshing — evidence against accused kingpin Gustavo Adolfo “Chili” Solis, 35.
Solis was arraigned in Manhattan Supreme Court on Thursday on charges of drug conspiracy and criminal sale of a controlled substance, Bridget Brennan, the city’s special narcotics prosecutor, announced.
Investigators say they’d been surveilling a stash house on Sanford Avenue in, aptly enough, Flushing, back in July when they saw Solis leave the apartment carrying a plastic Babies R Us bag.
The heroin was found under a layer of wipes.Solis was busted after putting the bag in the trunk of his BMW X5. The plastic-wrapped and assumedly pleasantly scented heroin was underneath a layer of baby wipes, officials said.
Solis is one of six indicted in a conspiracy to distribute the heroin and a whopping 3 pounds crystal meth in New York City and Pennsylvania.
“We have not seen that quantity of meth here, indicating this was a major network,” Kings County DA Kenneth Thompson said of the investigation, which his office also worked on, along with the DEA.
