Watchdog has drug rap nixed

A FORMER good government group leader’s misdemeanor drug charge was tossed Friday.

Two months after Dick Dadey was arrested on criminal possession of a controlled substance the case was dismissed in Brooklyn Criminal Court.

Dadey, 59, long served as Citizens Union’s executive director.

He completed a drug rehabilitation program prior to his Friday court appearance, according to a law enforcement source.

Police say they found ketamine, crystal meth and ecstasy in Dadey’s Brooklyn home in September. Dadey took a leave of absence from his job that month.

He has since been replaced by Betsy Gotbaum, the former city public advocate.
