Busted as eatery dope dealer

Some customers came for the sandwiches. Others came for the smack.

A Lower East Side man was arraigned Tuesday on charges that he set up shop in restaurants and a supermarket around Union Square to peddle cocaine, heroin and fentanyl as unsuspecting parents breezed by with children and strollers in tow.

Anthony Morales, 49, is accused of using Chipotle, McDonald’s, Au Bon Pain and Food Emporium to sell more than $16,000 worth of drugs to undercover cops.

Most of the six alleged drug sales he’s facing time for took place between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. from March 27 to May 9.

Some customers thought they were getting heroin, but an NYPD lab analysis revealed that what undercover police recovered was either fentanyl or a mixture of heroin cut with the lethal, synthetic opioid.

“Even though the defendant reported the drugs to be heroin to undercover officers, many of these sales were mainly fentanyl and some of the sales were pure fentanyl,” Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Anju Malhotra said at Tuesday’s arraignment.

Cops cuffed Morales on May 9 after the sting’s last sale — for $3,700 worth of drugs — at a Dunkin’ Donuts on 145th St. in Harlem.

Nearly $5,000 was seized from Morales when he was arrested, authorities said.

Morales appeared in court Tuesday with a cane.

“He could barely walk out of here,” said his attorney Jin Lee, arguing for bail to be low.

Malhotra countered that Morales was convicted of several prior felonies, including attempted burglary, criminal drug possession and criminal contempt, making him a flight risk.

If convicted, he’s facing 15 to 30 years behind bars.
