Aris A. Chaparro Indicted On Multiple Felony Charges


In Suffolk County, Aris A. Chaparro, a 55-year-old Brentwood resident, was recently indicted on multiple felony charges, including Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the First Degree. This came after an investigation launched by an undercover police officer's purchase of cocaine from him. A subsequent search of Chaparro's home led to the discovery of a substantial amount of drugs, cash, and illegal firearms.

The Investigation and Arrest
The investigation into Chaparro began in July 2025 when an undercover police officer purchased cocaine from him on four separate occasions. The transactions were arranged over the phone and took place at public locations like a gas station and a fast-food restaurant. During one of these buys, Chaparro allegedly sold the officer approximately two and a half ounces of cocaine.

Based on this evidence, police obtained a search warrant for Chaparro’s home. On August 6, 2025, a search of his residence uncovered over a quarter-kilogram of cocaine and around $13,000 in cash. Authorities also seized two loaded firearms, including a .44 Magnum revolver and a 9mm semi-automatic pistol with a defaced serial number. Additionally, officers found drug paraphernalia such as scales, plastic bags, and a ledger, which are commonly used in drug distribution.

The Charges and What's Next
On August 21, 2025, Chaparro was arraigned on a lengthy list of charges, including:

Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance in the First Degree (a Class A felony)
Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the First Degree (a Class B felony)
Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree (a Class C felony)
District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney emphasized that the combination of drug dealing and illegal weapons poses a significant risk to the community and fuels violence.

Following the arraignment, a judge ordered that Chaparro be held on a $250,000 cash bail, a $500,000 bond, or a $1,000,000 partially secured bond. His next court date is scheduled for September 24, 2025. If convicted of the top count, Chaparro could face up to 24 years in prison. The case is being handled by Assistant District Attorney Robert Kerr of the Narcotics Bureau
