Now, he’s occupying a jail cell.

A drug dealer was busted trying to peddle cocaine last night to Occupy Wall Street protesters in Zuccotti Park, The Post has learned.

Garfield Leslie, 19, began brawling with three protestors who had told him to leave their tent when he wandered in at around 8 p.m. and tried to sell small plastic baggies of cocaine, police sources said.

Leslie first punched a woman several times and then turned his fists on a guy who intervened, sources said. When another woman tried to stop the scuffle, Leslie allegedly hit her so hard in the chest she fell to the ground and injured her wrist, sources added.

The victims informed police officers assigned to a detail monitoring the park about their run-in with Leslie and the officers soon found the suspect walking around the encampment, allegedly still trying to deal drugs, sources said.

Leslie, of Brooklyn, was arrested and charged with felony assault, misdemeanor assault and drug possession.

Records show that Leslie was previously arrested four times over the summer.

On June 4, he was busted selling narcotics on a platform inside the West 4th Street subway station at Sixth Avenue, sources said.....

Clearly this guy is a brazen capitalist, and should know better than to prey on nittering marxists on maneuvers.

Know your market, Leslie!

Coke's blasé. Go back with ecstasy or acid.

For pure volume, weed never goes out of style.

LOL. The article makes it sound like he had no place at Occupy Wall Street. Please. He was there because there is a market for drugs at Occupy Wall Street. Something else you won’t see at a Tea Party event.

You know the laws and punishments are effective when you’re arrested five times for the same offense inside six months.

Its terrible what wall st and the bankers ( the jews) have done to this poor fellow. Forced him to sell coke because the rich want to exploit him and force him to work for a living.
Bye bye punk loser.

Wait a minute here...didn’t the OWS protesters just have a police brutality rally? And here they’re using the same police to protect them?
