WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - The 25-year-old son of Miami police Chief John Timoney was arrested for trying to buy 400 pounds of marijuana from an undercover agent, the Drug Enforcement Administration said Wednesday.
A court complaint said Sean Timoney of Philadelphia gave the agent a gym bag filled with about $450,000 in cash.
Timoney and Jae Seu, 23, of Glenside, Pa., were arrested Tuesday night in Spring Valley, said Elizabeth Jordan, a spokeswoman for the DEA in Manhattan. They were charged with conspiracy to possess and distribute a controlled substance.
The two defendants were taken to Albany for arraignment and held there pending a bail hearing Friday.
The complaint said the defendants met in a Spring Valley hotel room with DEA agent Leonard Uller at 8:30 p.m. After handing over the cash as a "partial payment," they left the hotel room to inspect the purchased marijuana and were arrested, the complaint said.
The meeting had been arranged by Seu and Uller, according to the complaint.
Miami police spokesman Delrish Moss said the chief does not yet have all the details and would not comment on the arrest because it is a family matter.
