As part of an ongoing investigation, Salt Lake City Police Department seized multiple types of drugs, firearms, cash and alcohol from the New Yorker club in downtown Salt Lake this weekend.
SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake City Police Department executed a court-authorized search warrant at the New Yorker nightclub, located at 60 W. Market Street, as part of an ongoing criminal investigation.
According to the police affidavit, Fusitua was an employee of the New Yorker when the search warrant was executed. Police found a "distributable amount of cocaine" and a firearm on Fusitua. "We saw a rash of violent crime happening down here on Market Street," said Brent Weisberg, spokesman for the police department. "Our Bike Squad did a remarkable job. Our officers were immediately responsive: increasing patrols and reassuring neighbors and business owners that they were safe."
Between June 9 and July 15, the efforts of the enhanced patrol operations resulted in the arrest of 15 people, the seizure of six firearms, including three rifles, more than 30 traffic stops, and more than 50 community contacts with officers. Additionally, officers have seized cocaine and marijuana during their work.
"The search had a lot of risk to it," Weisberg continued. "And we want to thank all jurisdictions. This was really a department-wide effort to execute the warrant so safely so that no one was injured. There were many people in the club when we arrived shortly after 1 a.m., and everyone complied. We have boots on the ground, and safety is of utmost importance."
