Staten Island man gets prison in New City drug case, report says

NEW CITY, N.Y. -- A Staten Island man who allegedly tried to give State Police a false identity was sentenced to three years in prison on drug charges, according to a report on Nyack-Piermont Patch.
Shaheim Bowman, 26, of the 100 block of Brabant Street, Mariners Harbor, was also ordered to serve three years on post-release supervision, Patch reported.
Bowman was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped on the New York State Thruway on Feb. 20, 2010 for traffic violations. Cops found 285 Percocet pills and 78 Oxycontin pills, District Attorney Thomas P. Zugibe said, according to Patch. As Bowman was transported to the State Police barracks, troopers found 22 glassine envelopes containing heroin in the back seat of the police cruiser, according to the report.
Zugibe said Bowman attempted to hide his identity throughout the investigation, giving troopers the name of his older brother.
Bowman pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
