Police Walk in on Alleged Heroin Deal in Thatcher Street Condo

Three men were arrested on drug charges last Wednesday after officers walked in on what appeared to be a heroin deal in progress at a Thatcher Street condominium.

Police had been called to the home on July 21 after the mother of one of the men, David Tesik-Gliken, reported that her son, who was wanted on a warrant, was inside. The woman told police she suspected Tesik-Gliken, 30, was using her condo for drug deals while she was at work and had hired someone to change the locks, but had called police when the locksmith reported hearing someone inside.

When officers were allowed into the condo, they reportedly found three men, including Tesik-Gliken, sitting around a coffee table covered with several needles and small plastic bags. Officers handcuffed Tesik-Gliken and searched one of the other men, Daniel Deychman, reportedly recovering a capped syringe, tourniquet, glass pipe and a green substance believed to be marijuana. The other man, Yan Demyanov, was reportedly carrying syringes as well.

Police searched a backpack lying on a nearby couch and reportedly found two plastics bags containing a tan powdery substance believed to be heroin and a variety of other drug paraphernalia.

Police seized $205 in cash from Tesik-Gliken and $100 from Deychmen as proceeds of drug distribution. After he was arrested, Tesik-Gliken's continued to receive text messages on his cell phone that appeared to be related to potential drug deals, according to a police department report.

Tesik-Gliken was charged with possession of a Class A drug with intent to distribute, violating School Zone laws and conspiracy to violate drug laws. Yan Demyanov, 31, of 121 Tremont St., B6, Brighton, and Daniel Deychman, 29, of 24 Church St., 32, Watertown, were both charged with conspiracy to violate drug laws and being present where heroin is kept.
