After an investigation, Pena was arrested at his home at 12:40 p.m. Monday.

Pena is charged with three counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, third degree; two counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance, third degree; conspiracy, third degree; use of a child to commit a controlled substance offense; and endangering the welfare of a child.
He is set to be arraigned Tuesday in First District Court in Hempstead.
