ALBANY — City detectives searching two 20 Rensselaer St. apartments in a narcotics sweep Tuesday night arrested five people — one of them 86 years old, Officer Steve Smith said Wednesday.

Detectives using warrants searched apartment 5C at 8:35 p.m. and found 10 blue glassine bags filled with heroin, a digital scale with heroin residue and empty baggies, all in a kitchen cabinet, arrest records show.

One of the four men inside the apartment, Harold Munger, 49, was also found with 41 blue glassine bags and three plastic bags filled with 10 grams of heroin in his front pants pockets, Smith said.

Munger, 56-year-old Claude Marcus Wilkins, 57-year-old Nathan A. Durham and Esau Turner, 86, were arrested. Twenty minutes later, detectives searched apartment 8C and arrested 24-year-old Shabree Beatty.

Inside, they found 12 glassine envelopes containing 1.3 grams of heroin, seven zipped baggies containing two grams of crack cocaine, one digital scale and two boxes of glassine envelopes on the kitchen table, according to the arrest record.

"The scale and glassine envelopes were possessed with the intent to weigh, distribute and package narcotic drugs, specifically heroin and crack cocaine," Beatty's arrest record states.

All five men are charged with two misdemeanor counts of criminal use of drug paraphernalia and a felony count of criminal possession of a controlled substance with intention to sell a narcotic drug.

Beatty, Wilkins, Durham and Turner are also each charged with one misdemeanor count of criminal possession of a controlled substance. Munger and Beatty are each charged with a felony count of criminal possession of a controlled substance.

All five were arraigned Wednesday in Albany City Court. All but Turner were taken to Albany County Jail without bail.
