Had avoided prison through diversion program
A Beacon man who had been sent to a diversion program after pleading guilty to selling cocaine has been arrested again.
Raequan Keemer, 29, faces felony counts of criminal sale and possession of a controlled substance, according to a news release from the Dutchess County District Attorney’s Office.
In June 2023, Keemer pleaded guilty to the criminal sale of a controlled substance after he sold cocaine in Beacon to undercover officers. He agreed to enter a judicial diversion program to avoid prison but police said agents made several more cocaine buys from him in Beacon. Keemer now faces up to 12 years in prison, the D.A. said. He was remanded to the Dutchess County jail without bail.
