STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Glassine envelopes of heroin stamped with the names of a classic TV show and an infamous drug dealer were allegedly among a cornucopia of drugs and cash seized by the NYPD in a raid of a home on Bay Street in Stapleton.

More than $30,000 in cash and hundreds of pills along with powders and rocks containing narcotics were seized when officers armed with a search warrant swarmed the home of Richard Johns, 56, in the 600 block of Bay Street on July 20 at about 12:25 p.m., according to the criminal complaint based on an investigation by Narcotics Borough Staten Island.

In additional to heroin, the criminal complaint alleges that officers confiscated cocaine, the addiction-treatment drug Suboxone, the opioid Oxycodone, the anti-seizure drug clonazepam and the attention-deficit-disorder drug Adderall from the suspect, who has a previous drug conviction.
