The team headed to Division Street in Newhallville, and found the Maxima parked on the street. Cops entered an apartment across the street belonging to Ali’s girlfriend’s aunt. That’s where they found their man, asleep in bed with his girlfriend, with his baby daughter nearby. Office David Zannelli stepped into a bedroom on Division Street and found the alleged gun dealer he was looking for still in bed. “You remember me?” he asked. The 23-year-old suspect, known as “Ali,” did remember him. He’d had a run-in with Zannelli in 2009, when the officer arrested him on a narcotics charge in the Dwight/Kensington neighborhood, the district where Zannelli was assigned to at the time. 6 months of labor came to fruition Wednesday morning with Ali’s arrest. He was one of 11 suspects rounded up by police in the first 5 hours of a day-long operation Wednesday. Some three dozen cops, ATF agents and U.S. marshals fanned out across the city to execute warrants on 24 suspects. The police action targeted gun offenders in order to reduce violence in the city, said Lt. Jeff Hoffman, head of the Tactical Narcotics Unit. Moments later, a cop who was masked to protect his identity emerged from the apartment. He summoned a prisoner conveyance van by radio. “We need a 29 at 215 Division.” Zannelli came out a few minutes later. “He’s saying goodbye to his daughter,” he said of Ali. He said the suspect was cooperative. Ali was arrested on two warrants for a variety of charges, including possession of a sawed-off shotgun, weapon in a motor vehicle, violation of a protective order, and illegal sale of a gun.Ali has previous arrests dating back to 2007 on charges including larceny, trespassing, interfering, breach of peace, and possession of marijuana.
