Tarrytown Police: Pleasantville Man Had Pounds of Pot, Fortune in Cash

A recent Tarrytown drug bust yielded several pounds of pot and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, police told Patch Thursday. 

Two New York men were arrested by the Greenburgh Drug and Alcohol Task Force on Tuesday afternoon following a brief investigation at the Bridge Plaza shopping plaza in Tarrytown.

Igor V. Kaplunovsky, 51, of Narrowsburg, New York was charged with criminal possession of marijuana in the second dress, a class D felony.

Ronnie I. Bordin, 55, of Pleasantville, was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, with intent to sell, a B felony.

Tarrytown police reported that Kaplunovsky was found at the scene with 4.5 pounds of marijuana. Bordin was found with numerous narcotic pills, marijuana and over $8,000.

A search of Bordin's home in Pleasantville, with the help of Pleasantville police, later yielded approximately 6.5 pounds of marijuana and about $346,000 in cash, police said.

Investigation is ongoing with possible additional charges "anticipated," Tarrytown Lt. William Herguth said.

Both are being held at Westchester County Jail in Valhalla.
