"It was really like a 24-hour cocaine to go shop. They had a designated pick up location, storage space for inventory, and round the clock delivery personnel," Schneiderman said.

The pair are accused of taking more than 100 calls a day in orders for cocaine.

In Wappingers Falls, Michael Novick was arrested in connection with the case.

Novick's sister is on the village Board of Trustees. His brother is a local police officer.
