I Fought the Landlord, and the Landlord Won
An unlikely person stands up for her rights—and pays the price
Moshe Samovha holds the 12th spot on Public Advocate Bill de Blasio's worst landlords in Manhattan watch list. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development cites Samovha with 226 violations (including 84 of the most dangerous "C Class" variety), all for one building: 1985 Amsterdam Avenue. Since 2001, the city has spent more than $11,000 via the Emergency Repair Program to fix Samovha's property under dire circumstances.
An elusive figure difficult to track down, he spells his name "Samouha" on some official documents and "Samovha," "Samovah," and "Samova" on others. The Voice also learned that he has lied to the city about where he lives and where his managing agent can be found.
This is a landlord who has acted with impunity for decades, content to let the city repair his boiler in winter while taxpayers pick up the tab, for example.
The city has been powerless to keep Samovha from operating a slum.
So it's surprising to find out who stood up to the man and paid a heavy price for it.
It certainly wasn't de Blasio. Other than put Samovha on his list, he couldn't be bothered to do much else. (His office wouldn't even return messages about Samovha.)
Nor was it another city agency, complacent in doing the landlord's work for him and merely slapping him on the wrist after the fact.
The one person who did stand up to Samovha was one of his Amsterdam Avenue tenants, a single mother of four children and an undocumented immigrant named Maria Montealegre.
For her attempts to fight her own landlord by organizing other tenants, Samovha assaulted Montealegre—a court order then prevented him from entering his own building. But that didn't stop him from starting eviction action against her.
This is the story of a woman who stood up to one of the city's worst landowners, and of the city and community that hung her out to dry and left her and her four kids facing homelessness when she proved everything said about him to be true.
In 1988, at 13 years old, Montealegre first came to the United States from Guerrero, Mexico, with her mother. With a limited grasp of Spanish reading and writing skills, Montealegre devoted all of her time to working, mostly as a cook or taking care of children. She eventually began her lifelong profession of selling flowers on the streets of New York, the only job she has known since.
Today, Montealegre is a petite woman who could easily pass as an older sister rather than as the mother of her four children. The Mexican immigrant population she's a part of is now the fastest growing in the city, increasing fivefold since she first arrived. Talking with us about her past, she tells her children to go inside the Mirabal Sisters Cultural and Community Center in Hamilton Heights and wait for her.
"I never knew that I could study here," Montealegre says. "My mother told me all I could do was work."
Soon after their arrival, Montealegre says her mother would repeatedly kick her out with all of her belongings, and she spent numerous nights sleeping on the streets of New York.
Sometimes feeling suicidal, "I thought that if I found somebody to be with that my life would be better," she says.
However, when she did meet someone, her mother came back and began asking her boyfriend for money in order for the relationship to continue. Things quickly got worse when her boyfriend, who was a drug dealer, became physically abusive. But by now, she was pregnant.
Montealegre tried to escape the abuse and would return to her mother's because she was the only person she knew, but her mother would only make her go back to her boyfriend. One day, he threatened to kill Montealegre's baby, and that's when she decided to leave him indefinitely.
With no place to go to and no one to count on, Montealegre and her daughter found refuge on trains and slept there until a stranger asked her if she needed help.
"He couldn't believe that my own mother would treat me that way," Montealegre says, fighting back tears. "He gave me a job and a place to stay."
That relationship didn't turn out the way she had hoped. Montealegre became pregnant with her second child and left him when he asked her to have an abortion. Because she was still a minor, Montealegre's mother gained custody of both children and took them back to Mexico with her.
Montealegre followed her south and was only allowed limited visitation with her children by her parents. The next couple of years brought on a series of failed relationships—all with men who promised to rescue her from her abusive mother. She made trips back to the United States, though they became less frequent as crossing the border illegally became nearly impossible.
"I've crossed so many times I've lost count," she says.
In the beginning, Montealegre says, the travel time from the border town of Agua Prieta, Sonora, to Arizona consisted at most of one hour of walking. From there, she could fly to New York. That all changed after 9/11 and as immigration laws became more strictly enforced.

Disgusting. This story SUCKS on soo many levels. This woman would have been better off in her own country not being victimized in NYC. She clearly was not able to take care of herself and now has 4 children? I mean when does REALITY come into play with Latinos? My heart breaks for her...but this pattern of reproduction is destroying and entire generation. When does it stop, when does it end?
yet again!
again !
even newer!!
super interesting
As for this story, that man should be locked up somewhere. He is not the only basely waste of skin doing this to people. I don't care if they are from this country or not they do not deserve to be treated like 3/5ths of a person... which ironically was the policy concerning slaves. Hypocrites will use these people for their labor, but want to kick them out as soon as they have been used up. SHAME really. It's the new slavery.
I expect nothing less from the commentators here, whose souls are just as jacklegged, bitter, heartless and just about as much of a waste of skin as Moshe Samovha. Most of the commentators under me are what is wrong with America, never mind that many of your ancestors immigrated here, and I bet some illegally too, killed off the Native Americans until they were almost non-factors. Also a people who built a country off the backs of imported slave labor etc. Yeah America is filled with saints.... Really.... and the illegal immigrant is sucking the life out of the country? You can't suck life from souls which died a long time ago.... no compassion, no love, no empathy.... all for greed and the love of money. I cannot wait for China to cash in on their debt. It will be well deserved to take this country and many of its inhabitants out of their misery.
when one of us stands up to injustice, we get squashed. when a whole lot of us stand up to injustice, the ruling class goes into a panic, bc that's called a revolution
Is this about a crook landlord or someone legal status? Gee....
Well, i believe, criminals like this landlord, should be in jail, beats me, why he isn't in jail yet....
davert: there is no tax on food from grocery stores in NYC, not that it matters when she's paying for everything with food stamps, receiving a minimum of 700 bucks a month in foodstamps for having 4 children and no official income. Explains why she's so fat.
A woman that entered the country illegally multiple times, has never paid income taxes in her life and has 4 anchor babies collecting welfare benefits is complaining the system doesn't work: No Shit.
What happened to all the previous comments? Oh I know...you misjudged your target audience. You thought people would feel sympathy for Maria and hatred for the landlord, but instead you incurred hatred for Maria because she's an ILLEGAL. It's exactly people like her who are here illegally, paying no taxes, with anchor kids, and collecting some type of welfare that's sucking the life out of this country.
Wow...the comments on this article reeeeeeally make me feel super proud of my country.
So sad. I'm glad I don't live in the US !!
@MNasser ...and you know she's feeding her kids soda as if it were water. They will grow up to be overweight and diabetic, and will be a further burden to our health system and society in general.
@dparasuco Oh yeah, totally... brought to America at AGE 13 by an abusive mother, struggling to get by day to day, and trying to organize vulnerable people for the benefit of all of their living situations... What a horrible person she must be.
@dparasuco Illegal immigrants don't pay taxes? Holy crap! Next time I go to the grocery store I'm just telling them I'm from Mexico so I don't have to pay sales tax.
@cmcmYou mean she's probably trying to help other illegals just like herself? Instead she should report back and tell them how bad living conditions can be here, and perhaps that will help stem the flow of illegals.

It's Beer Time: Unique Brews Made in the U.S.A.
Some people think that beer comes in two options: dark or light. But breweries around the country know that the sky's the limit when it comes to beer flavor, texture, aroma, and even food pairings. Here's a list of some great craft and specialty beers from innovative breweries around the country.
Help us complete the list. Tell us your favorite beers and microbrews in the comments section or on our Facebook page.
Fat Squirrel - New Glarus Brewing
This nutty brown ale is made from 100 percent Wisconsin malt, but its hops travel from Slovenia, Bavaria, and the Pacific Northwest. The brewery's Brewmaster came up with the idea for the nutty brown ale which you can enjoy with steak, dried fruit, or even chocolate cake after seeing a number of fat squirrels running outside. A microbrew and a memorable name were born.

Amicus Therapeutics Introduces Proprietary "CHART" Platform Technology
CRANBURY, N.J., March 4, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amicus Therapeutics (Nasdaq:FOLD), today introduced Ch aperone- A dvanced R eplacement T herapy (CHART™) as the brand name for its technology platform that combines unique pharmacological chaperones with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for lysosomal storage diseases.
John F. Crowley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Amicus stated, "We are pleased to introduce CHART as the brand name and designation for our chaperone-ERT combination platform. CHART reflects the breadth of the opportunities at Amicus to develop chaperones co-administered with marketed ERTs, or co-formulated with proprietary enzymes as next-generation ERTs. It is a platform that has already demonstrated proof of concept in the clinic and in multiple pre-clinical studies. The direct co-formulation of our proprietary enzymes with specific small molecule chaperone stabilizers may improve treatment outcomes, reduce immunological responses and potentially enable more convenient delivery routes with these next-generation ERTs. Our strategic vision is to build out this CHART platform to deliver new benefits for patients and create multiple sources of value for our shareholders. This platform will indeed chart a course to a very bright future for Amicus."
Ch aperone- Advanced Replacement Therapy (CHART)Amicus is leveraging the CHART platform to improve currently marketed ERTs through co-administration of a pharmacological chaperone prior to ERT infusion, and to develop next-generation ERTs that consist of proprietary lysosomal enzyme therapies co-formulated with pharmacological chaperones. ERTs are the standard of care for many lysosomal storage diseases. A recombinant or gene-activated human enzyme is manufactured for intravenous infusion into the circulation for transport to the lysosome. Once in lysosomes, ERT can perform the function of a person's own missing or deficient enzyme. However, these therapeutic enzymes may unfold and lose activity at any stage in the process, from the infusion bag to the bloodstream to the eventual uptake into cells and tissue. This instability, unfolding, and loss of enzyme activity may impact treatment outcomes with ERT.

Wednesday's Financial Winners & Losers
Updated from 1:23 p.m. EDT
Financial stocks lifted higher than the flat-lining broader market Wednesday despite a confluence of poor earnings from a number of companies.
Helping to keep things afloat was Houston's HCC Insurance (HCC), which gained 3.7% to $31.92 after first-quarter earnings shot up to $96.7 million, or 83 cents a share, from 68 cents a share last year. This beats estimates by 6 cents, according to Thomson Financial.
Online broker optionsXpress (OXPS) also spiked on word it saw a 24% year-over-year surge in customer accounts and client assets as of the end of April. Daily avenue revenue trades added 2% from last year and 8% sequentially. Shares of the Chicago-based company rose 2.7% to $24.36.Also doing fairly well were Swiss banks UBS (UBS) and Credit Suisse (CS). UBS tacked on 0.9% to $63.24 after agreeing to buy half of Northern Star Generation, a power-generation outfit, from an American International Group (AIG) fund. AIG lately gained 0.4% to $72. Meanwhile, Merrill Lynch upgraded Credit Suisse to buy from neutral, boosting its shares by 1% at $76.62. The NYSE Financial Sector Index, of which all but one of the above are components, climbed 51.6 points, or 0.4%, to 9920.77. The KBW Bank Index recently added 0.7% to 118.17. Weighing down the sector, however, were names like CompuCredit (CCRT), which slid 9.3% after swinging to a managed loss of $9.5 million, or 19 cents a share, in the first quarter -- a far cry from the 21-cent-per-share profit sought by analysts. The Atlanta-based lender's shares lost $3.57 to $34.75.

The Swon Brothers were once on the show, so we asked them what the contracts really said. Aside from not being able to understand the contract (who can with all that legal mumbo jumbo?)

Universal Travel, Level 3: Volume Movers
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Universal Travel Group (UTA) was one of several stocks trading below $5 moving on above-average volume Wednesday, as shares were plunging on a blogger's allegations of fraud.
Universal Travel Group lost ground after Bronte Capital's John Hempton wrote on his blog that the Chinese company may be committing fraud. Hempton is short the stock and would benefit from a decline in the share price.
"The online booking engine is dysfunctional -- and the massive margins that it claims (84 percent for plane tickets) are thus also dubious," Hempton wrote on his blog.
Shares of Universal Travel, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange, dropped by $1.23, or 25.8%, to $3.54. Volume topped 3.58 million shares, compared to the average daily share volume of 329,000.Elsewhere, Level 3 Communications (LVLT) retraced some of the previous session's decline, rising by 8 cents, or 8.4%, to $1.03. Volume topped 77.1 million shares, compared to the average daily share volume of 11.2 million. Level 3 shares fell Tuesday after the company first announced an offering of convertible senior notes. On Wednesday, Level 3 said it will sell $175 million in 6.5% convertible senior notes due 2016. The notes will be convertible into common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.235 per share China Cord Blood (CO) was also on the rise, climbing by 64 cents, or 16%, to $4.64 after the company said its board of directors has authorized a $15 million share repurchase program. "Our board of directors approved this share repurchase program to demonstrate our strong confidence in the Company's long term growth potential," Ting Zheng, chairwoman and CEO of China Cord Blood, said in a statement. Volume topped 34,000 shares, compared to the average daily share volume of 18,000. On the other hand, Duoyuan Printing (DYP) shares continued to plummet, falling by 54 cents, or 17.6%, to $2.53 on Wednesday, bringing its total loss this week to more than 60%. Volume topped 3.8 million shares, compared to the average daily share volume of 468,000. On Monday, Duoyuan Printing's chairman said the company's CEO and CFO were being replaced, and the Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu had been dismissed as auditor. The announcement stoked fears of an accounting scandal at the Chinese printing equipment company. -- Written by Robert Holmes in Boston.

I use this loads. It is comfortable for a tiny little one to a good sized toddler. The accessories - sun shade and waterproof cover - mean you really can go anywhere. No point buying anything bigger, for me, as I'd never manage to lift it! Would choose it again.Read moreLess

Gnanis always have meaningful conversations. It is said that gnanis talk about a thief and about women! It does sound contrary to what we believe, doesn't it? But it is not about an ordinary thief that they talk. They talk about the One who stole butter, and in the process, stole the hearts of the Gopikas too. In other words, they think and talk about Lord Krishna. Kooratazhvar, in his Adimanushyastavam, says that though Krishna might claim He came to steal butter, the truth was that He came to capture the hearts of the Gopikas. The women that gnanis talk about are the virtuous ones like Sita, Draupadi and Ahalya.
Do people always have meaningful conversations? Most of the conversations people have are of no use to them, leave alone to others. But there have been instances, in which conversations have had a lasting impact, conversations that are remembered thousands of years after they took place, said Kidambi Narayanan, in a discourse. Sage Narada approached Valmiki, and the world got the Ramayana. Suka and Parikshit had a conversation, which resulted in Srimad Bhagavatam. Lord Ranganatha of Srirangam, His Consort and Acharya Ramanuja had a conversation, which resulted in Saranagati Gadyam. When Lord Varadaraja of Kanchi spoke with Tirukacchi Nambi, we got six words of advice. Vaisampayana narrated the Mahabharata to Janamejaya. When Vidura and Dhritarashtra conversed, Vidura gave wise advice to Dhritarashtra. Thus, the world got the Vidura Niti. When Yudhisthira approached Bhishma, the world got the Vishnu Sahasranama.
Where those devoted to the Lord are concerned, their being in each other's company has always resulted in good. Scholars observe that four got together, and the result was one. In another case, four got together and the result was four. Six got together and the result was 1,000. The solution to this puzzle is: Krishna had two sets of parents. So Devaki, Vasudeva, Yasoda and Nandagopa — these four had one child. Dasaratha, and his three wives — these four had four sons. The Pandavas, and Bhishma together made up six people, whose getting together resulted in the Sahasranama.

The Charlotte City Council was skeptical Monday about Duke Energy's plan to move 4 million tons of coal ash to Charlotte Douglas International Airport, but members voted unanimously for the city to further study the issue.
Duke and Charah Inc. have proposed moving the ash from unlined ponds near Mountain Island Lake to the airport, where it could be used as fill material, possibly for a new runway. Duke said the ash would be wrapped inside a liner like a "coal ash burrito," which would protect groundwater, the company said.
City Manager Ron Carlee said the city would only strike a deal with Duke if it's environmentally safe and if it makes sense financially for the airport.
Mountain Island Lake – which is close to the ash ponds today – is the city's drinking water source. Council members said the unlined ponds are a problem, but some were skittish about bringing so much toxic material into the city.
They raised questions about whether groundwater could be harmed and about the environmental impact of more than 160,000 truck trips to move the ash.
But some environmentalists said Monday they felt it could be a good solution to a long-term festering problem. Charah and Duke have shifted ash to Asheville Regional Airport, where they started burying it almost seven years ago.
"Almost everything is better than storing the ash in an unlined lagoon next to your drinking water," said Rick Gaskins of the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation.
"We can't speak for all of the environmental groups," he said. "But we will offer our qualified support for looking into this. It all depends on the details."
Michael Barnes, the mayor pro tem, questioned Duke and Charah about the possible impact on drinking water. Duke and Charah said the lining would seal in the ash but that pipes would carry any water under the site into the city's sewer system.
"You will be introducing all of the poisons and hazardous materials ... into our sewer system?" Barnes asked.
Barry Gullet, director of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities, said other utilities have had similar arrangements with treating wastewater from coal ash ponds. He said CMU would study the issue.
Council members Ed Driggs and Al Austin asked about negative impacts of moving the ash. Charah said one of its trucks can carry between 18 and 25 tons of ash. Considering the company is planning to move 4 million tons, that could be between 160,000 and more than 222,000 truck trips.
Charah said it works to make sure the ash is covered as it is being moved. It also said it works to clean its trucks to minimize dust.
Gaskins said dust will be a problem.
"Charah may have done a great job" moving ash in Asheville, he said. "But you will have people coming to council meetings saying they have dust on their car."
Council member David Howard wondered whether Charah's system for containing the ash – which include 6 feet of dirt and a liner – would be able to withstand the impact of large jets at one of the world's busiest airports.
Gaskins said that's a valid concern.
"What is the impact of having 747s land on this?" he said. "What will that do to the liner?"
He also said it's critical for Duke and Charah to fully clean the ponds, not just remove the ash.
City staff members and Duke had been discussing for months whether moving the coal ash to the airport would be beneficial.
Council members voted after the presentation for city staff to continue exploring the issue, a process that should take 60 days.
It's uncertain if the airport needs a fourth parallel runway, though one has long been planned. The airport is undertaking a capacity study to see if the runway is needed.
Charlotte Assistant City Manager Hyong Yi said the airport might not even build a runway on the fill.
"There is no designated project for the fill," Yi said. "That may or may not be the case."
Howard said he wasn't interested in the project "if it won't save us money."

Nanning to Shanghai
We were at the airport at Nanning for our early morning flight (0750) back to Shanghai. Everything went smoothly until I went trough security, I must have a sign on my forehead saying pick me! I was patted down by a Chinese security lady (she was quite nice too) and had to empty stuff out of my back pack. Soon enough I was permitted to ...
A quite morning with a bit of a sleep in and then a look around the shops. Bought a couple of pairs of jeans for ¥69 = $13.80 what a bargain . Late this afternoon we are going to King Songs place for dinner. Should be good, a couple of beers and some nz wine. Well we arrived at King Song's place and he had invited another one of Jen's old class mates Yoo around as well, he was cooking dinner for us all. Song took us down too his home theatre to watch a move and have some beers ...
... which took about and hour. We got down about 1530 and had a couple of beers and a late lunch which was very nice.... Buy the way Jen's uncle carried this cooked chicken up to the grave, after doing their thing he carried it down and it was part of lunch. We left there to head back to the city at about 1730 which is a 2 1/2 hour drive and a distance of 96 km. We have just gone over a bridge with a 20 ...
Didn't do much today, we got picked up by one of Jen's cousins and went to the Nanning Zoo. Well what a disappointment, the big cats were in small in closures rill of mud and no green rass at all, it was discussing. The ones that were not in there they were in concrete cages and nothing like their environment. All in all it was a great disappointment that the would treat these animals like this. In the evening we went for a walk and did a bit of ...
Detain Waterfalls
Today we were picked up by one of Jen's old class mates Song and his family. They took us all the way to the Detian waterfalls about 250 Kms away. It was a trip to be remembered in several ways. Firstly I was at the mercy of a male Chinese driver for a total of 500 Kms. We saw two crashes one on the way there and one on the way back where vehicles had run off the road into very deep water tables. The only reason for this was vehicles overtaking around ...

Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Ryan Ludwick's grand slam highlighted a six-run third inning for St. Louis en route to a 10-5 victory over Kansas City in the opener of a three-game interleague set between the intrastate foes.
Colby Rasmus had four of the Cardinals' 14 hits, scored twice and knocked in two. Skip Schumaker was 3-for-4 with two runs scored in the club's third win in the last four games.
Khalil Greene made his first start since coming off the disabled list due to social anxiety disorder and collected two hits, including a solo homer, scored twice and walked. Rick Ankiel also homered in the win.
Brad Thompson (2-2) lasted seven innings and allowed five hits and four runs to earn the victory and continue a nice run in the Cardinals' rotation. The right-hander had allowed three runs or less in each of his previous three starts since coming out of the bullpen.
Kyle Davies (3-7) was raked for nine hits and eight runs -- seven earned -- in just 2 2/3 innings. David DeJesus, Miguel Olivo and Billy Butler each homered in defeat for the Royals, who dropped their third straight.
The Cardinals took two of three at home from the Royals back on May 22-24, and now lead the 2009 I-70 series, 3-1.
St. Louis started its offensive onslaught in the first, as Schumaker and Rasmus strung together a pair of singles, and, after a passed ball, Albert Pujols roped a two-run single to left.
KC got one back in the home portion on DeJesus' leadoff blast to right-center, but the Cardinals broke open the contest in the third with six runs.
Schumaker and Rasmus again set the table with consecutive base hits, and Pujols was intentionally walked before Ludwick swatted a 2-1 fastball into the left field seats.
"It's got to fuel the fire a little bit," said Ludwick of KC choosing to load the bases prior to his at-bat rather than pitch to Pujols. "He (Pujols) gets walked a lot, so that's been one of the big things here. Needing a guy to hit behind Albert. I know I really haven't done my job too well, so hopefully I could a better job at it."
Davies then walked Chris Duncan but got a double-play ball off the bat of Yadier Molina. However, Ankiel and Greene launched back-to-back homers before the third out was recorded, and the visitors led, 8-1.
"It wasn't very good," Davies said of his short and unproductive outing. "I had a good tempo and a good mindset going into the game. I just didn't make very good pitches."
A two-run double from Rasmus off Jamey Wright in the fifth opened up a nine- run lead, before the Royals chipped away at the deficit with Mitch Maier's RBI groundout in the bottom half and Olivo's two-run homer in the seventh.
Butler clubbed a solo shot in the eighth off Chris Perez, but Dennys Reyes prevented any further damage with a 1-2-3 ninth that finished off the win.

How Age Influences Investment Moves
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- When it comes to financial decisions and investing strategies, who does a better job: young, tech-savvy investors or their conservative, old-school elders?
Bad news for the adults: Research by Stanford University and Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management found evidence that older investors may be more prone to make bold moves and bad choices.
|Younger investors may be making better financial choices than their elders.
In technical terms, "a variability in nucleus accumbens activity" may be to blame for irrational financial decisions made by some older investors. Put more simply: daydreaming.The researchers found evidence that older investors are more prone to distractions and wandering thoughts that result in taking unnecessary risks and choosing stocks that they should otherwise have known to back away from. Poor decision-making isn't necessarily the result of senility, memory lapses or other cognitive declines that go hand in hand with aging. As part of their study, men and women between the ages of 19 and 85, while having their brains scanned by an MRI, were put through a game that involved choosing among various stocks and bonds. Older subjects proved just as willing as younger ones to choose riskier investments, stocks over bonds. But the older participants more frequently made rash decisions, choosing stocks before they even considered performance and earnings data available to them. In some cases, they were well aware of companies' earnings, gains and losses, but chose weaker offerings nonetheless. It wasn't forgetfulness that led to bad choices, but what the researchers referred to as "noise" -- other thoughts "leaking" into the task at hand. In terms of brain chemistry, the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine -- traditionally thought to decline with age -- spiked during the experiment and could be partly to blame for the randomness of the choices made. "We don't know a whole lot about how aging affects decision-making, particularly in the financial realm," says Brian Knutson, associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at Stanford University. "This is becoming increasingly important because the global population is aging, and so the financial decisions people make as they age are going to become an increasingly important aspect of the economy."

Owner of Epping tow company faces drug possession charges
Timothy Castine, of 93 Jenness Road and the owner of Tim & Joni's Towing, was arrested on charges of drug possession, state police Lt. Nicole Armaganian said.
The arrest followed an investigation that began earlier in the day when state police from Troop G arrived to conduct a motor vehicle dealer audit.
During the audit, Armaganian said police "smelled a heavy odor" of what appeared to be marijuana inside the residence on the property where the business is also located.
Police then applied for and were granted warrants to search the property. During the search, which included three police K-9s, Armaganian said police found drugs and drug paraphernalia.
Several state police cruisers were at the property throughout the day, first for the audit and later for the drug investigation that lasted into Monday night.

Ann Romney tells Republicans Mitt 'will not fail'
Mitt Romney's wife, Ann, has painted a loving portrait of her husband at the Republican convention, on the day he became the party's White House nominee.
In her prime-time speech, the would-be first lady spoke of her "real marriage" to a steadfast partner and father.
Correspondents say the address aimed to show the human side of the Republican, who lags behind President Barack Obama in likeability ratings.
Mr Romney will challenge the Democratic president in November's elections.
Opinion polls show Mr Obama neck-and-neck with Mr Romney, who will deliver his big speech to the convention on Thursday.
Tuesday's proceedings came to an end with a tubthumping speech by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who told delegates in Tampa that Mr Romney would tell Americans "the hard truths" they needed to hear as he sought to fix the economy.'From my heart'
Highlighting Mr Romney's image problem, a new opinion poll suggests the former Massachusetts governor's favourability rating is the lowest of any major party nominee since Ronald Reagan's presidency.
Mrs Romney, 63, told the audience she wanted to "talk to you from my heart about our hearts", saying of her husband, "you really should get to know him".
She talked about the way her husband helped her deal with multiple sclerosis and breast cancer.
"I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a 'storybook marriage,'" she said.
"Well, in the storybooks I read, there were never long, long rainy winter afternoons in a house with five boys screaming at once. And those storybooks never seemed to have chapters on MS [multiple sclerosis] or breast cancer.
"A storybook marriage? No, not at all. What Mitt Romney and I have is a real marriage."
She addressed criticism from Democrats over her husband's successful private equity career. "Mitt will be the first to tell you that he is the most fortunate man in the world.
"But as his partner on this amazing journey, I can tell you Mitt Romney was not handed success. He built it."
Mrs Romney ended by pledging: "This man will not fail. This man will not let us down.
"He will take us to a better place, just as he took me home safely from that dance."
Mr Romney, 65, appeared on stage and kissed his wife as she concluded her remarks, to a standing ovation from the audience.
Speaking after Mrs Romney, Chris Christie stressed that Mitt Romney was right man to take control of a struggling US economy.
"Mitt Romney will tell us the hard truths we need to hear to put us back on the path to growth and create good paying private sector jobs again in America," he said.
"It's time to end this era of absentee leadership in the Oval Office and send real leaders to the White House."Abortion and Wall Street
The speeches followed a roll-call of party delegates and a lively voice poll in which state delegates called out their team's allocation of votes.
Key convention speeches
Tuesday: Ann Romney, House Speaker John Boehner, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, former US senator Rick Santorum, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie
Wednesday: New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez, Arizona Senator John McCain, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan
Thursday: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, presidential candidate Mitt Romney
Altogether, Mr Romney secured 2,061 votes, bringing him comfortably over the crucial 1,144 delegates needed to clinch the nomination.
Vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan was also given the Republican party's official stamp of approval on Tuesday. He will speak to the convention in a much-anticipated speech on Wednesday night.
There were attacks on Mr Obama, with House Speaker John Boehner saying "his record is as shallow as his rhetoric".
Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said the president has "never run a company. He hasn't even run a garage sale or seen the inside of a lemonade stand".
The convention also approved its party platform - a policy agenda that calls for tax cuts to revive the economy, repealing and replacing a healthcare law passed by Mr Obama, and an end to abortion.
Recent opinion polls have indicated that voters view the economy and unemployment, which is stuck at 8.3%, as top priorities.
The platform also calls for the overturning of measures passed to regulate Wall Street in the wake of the 2008 economic collapse.
This is Mr Romney's second run for the White House, after an unsuccessful bid in 2008.
President Obama's re-nomination will be confirmed next week at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.
This year's convention got off to a late start when Monday's programme was postponed amid concerns that Hurricane Isaac might disrupt the proceedings in Tampa.
But the category one hurricane missed Tampa, instead making landfall in southern Louisiana on Tuesday evening.
It comes almost seven years to the day since Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans.

Without a man-child to bring to maturity, the past decade's dominant comedy crew falls flat.
Movies from the Judd Apatow gang have always been more mature than they've looked. Knocked Up, The Forty Year Old Virgin, Funny People et al are silly and crass on the surface but sweet and sentimental at heart. You come for the implausible premise—the middle-aged man who's never had sex! The schlub who gets the hot girl pregnant!—and juvenile humor. But you stay for the satisfying coming-of-age story. The middle-aged virgin realizes it's time to grow up; the schlub decides to ditch his bong.
The Five-Year Engagement, out this week, is an inversion of the classic Apatow scenario. At first glance, this movie—produced by Apatow, written by Muppets screenwriting team Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller—looks like a tale about embracing maturity and commitment. The very title implies a certain story arc: Couple gets engaged; one (or more) person in couple realizes he/she has Fear of Commitment; couple stalls; couple finally gets over fear and marries.
But the couple in question ends up doing very little of the growing and maturing that's central to Apatow's and even Segel's other films. That's because the obstacle to marriage in The Five-Year Engagement isn't one character's fear or immaturity or bad habits. Instead, it's a lousy set of circumstances: One half of the couple wants to live in one city, while the other half needs to live elsewhere for her job. Making geography rather than immaturity the crux of the movie's tension is a fatal mistake for The Five-Year Engagement. The result is a film that's long, boring, stale, only occasionally funny, and worst of all, pointless.
'The Five-Year Engagement' endorses the idea that Michigan, not Tom's inflexibility, is the problem.
The movie opens with Tom (Segel) proposing to Violet (Emily Blunt), the woman he's been dating for a year. If this were almost any other Apatow film, there would be something glaringly wrong with Tom—he doesn't have a job, say, or he lives with a pack of pot-smoking losers—and the rest of the movie would set out to fix it. But Tom is actually in pretty good shape. He's a talented sous chef at a popular San Francisco restaurant, where he's won the respect of his tough boss. He lives in a simple, tastefully decorated apartment with Violet, who's no slouch, either. She's just completed a Ph.D. in psychology and is waiting on offers for post-doc work.
When the long-awaited job offer comes, it's not from nearby Berkeley, as Violet had hoped, but the University of Michigan. Tom's clearly not excited about the idea of moving, especially when his boss tells him she wants to make him head chef of a new restaurant she's opening. But he resolves to go anyway. "We can handle anything," the two declare.
Michigan turns out to be a trickier relationship snag than arrested development, though. Violet immerses herself in her work at the university, where her boss and colleagues lavish her with praise. Tom, meanwhile, languishes. He can't get a job in any of the local upscale restaurants—which are inferior to San Francisco's anyway, the movie unsubtly implies—so he takes a position as a sandwich-maker at a fancy deli. He quickly becomes miserable. "You have no idea how hard it is to be a man in a relationship and not have a job you're proud of," he tells Violet, in one of the film's few emotionally compelling scenes. (Another involves Violet and her sister talking to each other in Sesame Street voices.)
