OAKLAND — A 14-time felon accused of using his senior citizens home as a base for selling narcotics is being prosecuted on four felony drug counts, according to court documents and authorities.
Landry Daniels, 68, was arrested June 21 and charged June 23 with two counts of possession for sale of a controlled substance and two counts of transportation of a controlled substance for sale.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges Wednesday and was told to appear Aug. 30 for a pre-trial hearing. Daniels is currently free on $60,000 bail.
Daniels’ attorney did not return calls seeking comment.
According to court documents, on the day Daniels was arrested, police seized about $20,000 worth of cocaine, black tar heroin and marijuana from his vehicle and apartment in the 66-unit Glen Brook Terrace Satellite Senior Homes 4030 Panama Court where he lived at the time.
Police also seized $471 from Daniels they believe are proceeds from drug sales, according to court documents.
Daniels is accused of selling drugs to non-residents in the parking area of the senior home, and he would also make deliveries, authorities said.
He recently moved from the complex. A representative of the complex said in an email earlier this week that “Unfortunately we are unable to share any information at this time.”
Authorities began their investigation several weeks ago after receiving anonymous tips about Daniels.
According to the documents, undercover police officers saw him making suspected sales from his KIA SUV about 6:45 p.m. June 21 outside the apartment complex, which is near Piedmont Avenue.
The buyers were arrested and Daniels was stopped by police in the 4000 block of Emery Street in Emeryville, according to court records.
The SUV was searched, and in a leather bag in the center console, a plastic sandwich bag containing 14.1 grams of suspected cocaine and 5.6 grams of suspected black tar heroin was found, the documents state.
The cash was found in one of Daniels’ pants pockets.
A search warrant was served later at his apartment where 40 grams of suspected cocaine, 25.5 grams of suspected black tar heroin and 0.8 ounces of suspected marijuana were found, the documents say.
According to court documents, Daniels’ prior convictions are between 1978 and 2012. They include convictions for drugs, burglary, petty theft with priors, and receiving stolen property. He received prison terms for nine of the convictions and was placed on probation for the others, including the most recent in August 2012 for burglary.

Looks to me like somebody who just wasn't ready to retire from a life-long vocation ...A 14-time felon

Would it be legal for a care home to deny residency to someone with a felony conviction record? If so, why didn't they do a thorough background check on the guy?

Great. Convict him and send him to prison and he'll be receiving the same amenities that he currently enjoys. After 14 felonies he's probably much happier in the big house than at the seniors home.

And in prison, drugs will be cheap and plentiful.

Actually, no.
While there are drugs in prison/jail............they certainly ain't cheap!
(10x street value)
Which should cover the costs of "keester delivery" and bribing the crooked C.O.s.
