When you're a drug counselor it can be pretty easy to get yourself involved in drugs, especially when your clients at your actual job are potential clients for your moonlighting job.
A drug counselor at a New York State rehab facility sold crack cocaine on ‘multiple occasions' to undercover agents, according to police who arrested the alleged dealer on felony narcotics charges.
Acting on tips from the public, investigators began probing Alvin Lewis, 54, and subsequently identified him as a ‘narcotic and dangerous drug dealer' operating in Dutchess County towns about 80 miles north of New York City …
While conducting surveillance of Lewis, police determined that he worked overnight hours as a counselor at Arms Acres, an in-patient rehabilitation clinic.
I'm pretty sure I'm making this up, but Alvin's favorite line when speaking to clients about getting off the dope was, "Quitting crack is the easiest thing in the world; I've done it hundreds of times."
Police tracked down Lewis near Wappingers Falls, and when they searched his home there investigators found "crack cocaine packaged and ready for sale."
Well, one thing's for sure: If Lewis needs any help with his drug-dealing problem, he can look himself in the eye in the prison mirror and give himself some face-to-face counseling as to why drugs are bad.
This will likely result in good behavior, which may allow him an early exit from prison.
