STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Police seized 400 glassines of heroin, $11,000 in cash and arrested five individuals over the past week as part of Operation Blue Angel.

The investigation, which traced the supply of heroin on Staten Island to Edison Township, N.J., stemmed from the overdose death in March of 25-year-old Sharissa Turk, a.k.a. "Blue Fairy."

District Attorney Michael E. McMahon and NYPD Commissioner James P. O'Neill announced the bust Tuesday night at the Jewish Community Center of Staten Island in Sea View, prior to a community safety meeting where O'Neill was honored.

"We are thrilled this is the culmination of incredible investigative work by our police officers and inspired legal work by my team in the district attorney's office," said McMahon.

Alleged dealers who face charges in Richmond County Supreme Court include 25-year-old Amanda Dimarinis, a paraprofessional at Dreyfus Intermediate School (I.S. 49).

Dimarinis allegedly sold fentanyl on school grounds during her lunch break.

Also indicted on charges of criminal sale of a controlled substance and criminal possession of a controlled substance are 25-year-old Amanda Gavrity, who authorities deemed a distributor, and 27-year-old Dylan Lopez who was named as a dealer.

The supplier was Jessica Chaikin, 28, who transported heroin and fentanyl over the Outerbridge Crossing to neighborhoods on Staten Island, authorities allege.

Chaikin also was indicted on criminal sale and criminal possession of a controlled substance, according to court records.

The investigation was spurred by the death of Turk, who was eight months pregnant when she died of an overdose earlier this year in her Annadale apartment.

Her death was investigated as a crime scene in an attempt to trace the drugs that killed her to the source, as part of the Overdose Response Initiative spearheaded by McMahon.

The operation led police, in part, to Turk's fiance, Frank DeGaetano, 28, who authorities named as a distributor in the recent take down.

Turk performed as the "Blue Fairy" in a music video about prescription drug abuse in 2013. The video went viral after Turk pleaded guilty to felony drug charges,

Of the 400 glassines of heroin recovered by police, DeGaetano allegedly was found in possession of 329, said McMahon.

The supply chain documented by police ended in neighborhoods that included Rossville, Richmondtown, Tottenville, Great Kills and Rosebank, according to a press release Tuesday from McMahon's office.

Search warrants were conducted at four residences and one vehicle, said Assistant Chief Patrick Conry of the NYPD Detectives Bureau.

Operation Blue Angel is the first heroin related drug bust of 2017, after three undercover operations in 2016 resulted in the arrest of 30 people tied to the distribution of heroin or fentanyl, said Conry.

The heroin epidemic on Staten Island was a main point of discussion among borough and city officials at the scheduled community safety meeting that followed Tuesday's announcement.
