The evidence at trial established that on August 6, 2021, members of the Suffolk County Police Department executed a court-authorized search warrant for narcotics at Mohan’s residence.

Incident to the execution of the warrant, officers recovered in excess of eight ounces of cocaine from several locations within the home; four digital scales; four cell phones; a drug ledger; and over $1,100 in U.S. currency.

Previously in 2004, Mohan was convicted of the felony offense of Attempted Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Fourth Degree in Suffolk County Court.

The trial was heard before the Honorable Anthony Senft. Mohan is represented by Toni Marie Angeli, Esq. He is due back in court for sentencing on January 30, 2023.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Saam Jalayer of the Narcotics Bureau.
