Troop K community stabilization unit arrest poughkeepsie man on drug charges

On April 23, 2025, members of the Troop K Community Stabilization Unit (CSU) observed a 2023 Chevrolet Malibu traveling on South Clinton Street in the City of Poughkeepsie, in violation of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law. Troopers initiated a traffic stop and interviewed the operator, identified as Hudhayfah Abdullahi, 24, and his 26-year-old male passenger, both of Poughkeepsie, NY.

A Town of Poughkeepsie Police Department officer and K-9 Kaya conducted an exterior scan of the vehicle, which positively alerted to the presence of illegal narcotics.

While interviewing the parties, the Troopers observed crack cocaine in plain view on the driver's seat.  A search of Abdullahi revealed approximately 41.2 grams of crack cocaine, 4.2 grams of fentanyl, and $2,252 in cash.
