Nassau County Police said the deal between Paul Kim, 29, of New Hyde Park, and Mansur Wajid, 23, of Roosevelt, was conducted outside of their vehicles in the parking lot of 1900 Hempstead Turnpike in East Meadow at around 8:20 p.m.
Upon putting the two men into custody, police said, Kim was also found to be in possession of Oxycodone pills.
