Charles Kavanaugh ▲

GOSHEN - One of the four at-large defendants in Tuesday's big drug sweep turned himself in to authorities Wednesday morning.

Charles Kavanaugh, 31, of Newburgh, surrendered to state police with his lawyer, John Ingrassia.

Kavanaugh was arraigned in Orange County Court by Judge William DeProspo and jailed on $20,000 bail or $60,000 bond. He is charged with second-degree conspiracy.

Kavanaugh is one of more than two dozen defendants in the case, which prosecutors say involved two drug rings linked by defendants Paul Smith, 48, of Deerpark and Robert Dunham Jr., 46, of Middletown. Smith is a paid Middletown City Fire lieutenant, and Dunham a volunteer firefighter with the Mechanicstown Fire Department in the Town of Wallkill.

Police are still seeking three defendants charged with second-degree conspiracy: Gary Caldwell, 33, of Wappingers Falls; Justin Antona, 27, of Slate Hill; and Andrew Bendig, 23, of Middletown.
