Ice-cream truck driver busted for peddling pot & cocaine

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime_file/2007/08/04/2007-08-04_mr_softee_scooped_up_in_drug_rap-2.html Saturday, August 4th 2007, 4:00 AM
A Mister Softee driver who dished up pot and cocaine along with the ice cream was busted in his truck outside a Queens school yesterday, police said.
For certain customers, Jermaine Jordan, 26, of St. Albans, would double-cup his cold concoctions - tucking the drugs neatly between the two containers and giving new meaning to the term coke float, authorities said.
"People would approach and place their order," a police source said. "The bottom of their cup would contain their purchase, either cocaine or marijuana."
Jordan was arrested as he made his usual stop in front of Intermediate School 8 in South Jamaica - just as kids were being dismissed from summer camp, police said.
Parents outside IS 8 said they were disgusted by the alleged drug-dealing - especially since the suspect is a man they had come to know from his three years of driving the ice-cream truck.
"We trusted this guy. We send kids out there every day. I feel betrayed," said Donald Williams, 53, who regularly gave money to his granddaughter for ice cream.
"I been here for 40 years and ain't never would've thought Mister Softee was dealing drugs. Not Mister Softee."
Armed with a search warrant, four squad cars descended on the ice-cream truck about 5p.m., and cops grabbed Jordan, who has served time on a weapons charge, police said.
The officers recovered unspecified quantities of cocaine and marijuana as well as a loaded .380 semiautomatic pistol from the truck, said NYPD Capt. Jimmy Coan.
The gun "was in plain sight, 2 feet from the window," Coan said. "Someplace he could reach for it easily, but if you're a kid looking up, buying ice cream, you couldn't see it."
Narcotics cops had been investigating Jordan for six weeks after getting a tip, Coan said. Jordan allegedly sold drugs throughout his Jamaica route.
"We don't believe that he was selling to schoolchildren," Coan said. "Basically, he would serve people he either knew or felt comfortable serving. There was no specific code word, per se. He had to size you up, and if he felt comfortable, he would serve you."
Jordan is facing a slew of drug and gun charges.
"It's crazy, man. It's a crazy world," said a cousin of Jordan's, who declined to give his name. "It's not like him. I don't know what went on."
Jordan just shrugged as cops escorted him from the 103rd Precinct for the trip to Central Booking last night.

Why is this a bad thing? Very clever marketting scheme
I saw this earlier on CNN and I was disgusted too....that this man is considered a criminal and is frowned upon by society. Whats the big deal? I'd carry a gun too if I was selling drugs. There's all sorts of real criminals out there. Was it registered or they just made it look bad on the news? And how'd this fine gentleman get caught? Snitches?

Now-a-days I'm surprised that people don't automatically just sort of suspect the ice-cream truck driver of selling drugs. There are the movie references that people pointed, and I seem to read a few of these stories every year.
Hell, when I was like 13 the ice-cream lady who used to come through my neighborhood got busted for selling pot out of her truck, along with her husband, who also drove an ice-cream truck.
It seems like such a cliche I really can't believe it takes anyone by surprise anymore.

Yeah, the Manapua man in the town next to me does the same thing. Having a legitimate business run out of a truck makes a good coverup for dealers, apparently.
