The Story Of Corey Pegues, Crack Dealer Turned Top Cop 

The Post should of ran a success story rather than a put down piece. This man did everything right after coming from the worst circumstances. This is an American success story and should be a motivational story for all people.

It sounds like many are envious of Mr. Pegues not because he changed his life for the better, but because he surpassed their expectations of him. The thing is very rarely do people do more than what is expected of themselves. I believe that if he was the head of A&R at Def Jam records or the department of sanitation, this wouldn't even be a discussion.

Keep in mind the mafia cop stephen caracappa was a stick up kid got caught with a gun and still became a cop. Inspector Pegues was a Army Man with no convictions or poloce contact who turned his life around to serve nyc and help the community. Rock On Inspector Pegues

This man is a whole Reverse Card in the streets

This story is crazy asf 😂😂😂 The Supreme Team affiliation makes it more hilarious.

Prime example of turning your life around. He could've been an infamous drug dealer with a movie but instead a famous black cop with a movie. I'd take the latter. Salute from the 252 Rocky Mount NC. There's a difference in niggas and blacks. And he is definitely a respectable black man. One that I can show my son thats doing life with no parole to pass on to my grandson..his son. Life is all of what you make it

Born and raise in Queens. And I must say this town has a lot of great folks coming out of it. All the best

198 and Murdock - From '85-'88 I used to walk home from school (St Pascals) every day. Also played in that park and my people stayed on 197th. Anthony and Gerald kinda raised me on 197th. I was 10-12 years old. Some of the best times of my life.

You ain’t no cop J Reid lol

Some fly, dope 80s pics!!!!!

What a wonderful turnaround you did a 360! 🥰

Trust me, NO ONE wants to see a young black man succeed

At least the man changed his life for the better. It took strength to do that and not give a damn about what others thought of him cuz when it comes down to it all you have is family.these streets don’t care about no one but themselves.

Gang bangers are informants Anyone whos street knows this

@5:13, Corey, nah... no offense to T.I. or the South... but whomever portrays you in a biopic SHOULD be from New York! Ask LL's son; he should be grown by now. Heck, your own son. Oshea did a good job playing Cube in #SOC. Nah, that actor needs to embody New York, particularly, Queens. #OnceACop.

All they had to do was ask, my man would of kept it real 😂

Dope story....keep up the good work

ANYBODY CAN CHANGE!!! THANK GOD FOR THIS MAN WHO CHANGED HIS LIFE ONCE HE BECAME A FATHER.....THEN HE WANTS TO HELP OTHER YOUNG MEN WHO ARE BEING RAISED ON THE STREETS WITHOUT A FATHER IN THE HOME! HATS OFF TO YOU!!! STAY ON THE BATTLEFIELD....THESE YOUNG PEOPLE NEED TO SEE SOMEONE WHO WAS ONCE OUT THERE AS WELL....SELLING DRUGS AS THEY ARE DOING NOW. THEY NEED TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE CARES FOR THEM. MOST OF ALL, GOD CARES FOR YOU. GOD WANTS TO GIVE YOU AN ABUNDANT LIFE YOUNG PEOPLE. THE DEVIL COMES TO STEAL, KILL, AND DESTROY. HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE AN UNTIMELY DEATH. GOD PROMISED YOU LONG LIFE, IF YOU OBEY HIM BY OBEYING YOUR PARENTS THAT YOUR DAYS BE LONG ON THE EARTH. OBEY THEM THAT HAVE AUTHORITY OVER YOU. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAUGHT FROM A CHILD.

As an officer he has definitely motivated me

Fantastic story. Well done Sir

Pigs are pigs.

Dear heavens! Corey, didn't see it when y'all were younger...but can see it now. The smile, especially! You and Marlowe must have some of the same DNA lineage. Remember Marlowe from 2-first? Cool dude...just like you.

Swagged out.

This is what a real hero looks like black folks.

Keep up the good fight! Recognize

you're the same people who say if someone sells drugs or breaks the law they get whatt they deserve, but beacuse this man escaped justice by becoming a cop, he's ok.

This is Dope!!!

I got a friend of mine applying for mdpd and they won’t take him because he was on an incident report for his friend getting jailed up for weed even though he wasn’t charged they don’t want to take him. How do major drug king pins get a job as a police officer?

That NY lifestyle was the recipe for success.

No somos, el lugar de donde venimos, somos el lugar a donde queremos ir...sin olvidar de donde venimos

Got dam this is a great story

this sound like raising kanan detective that’s his daddy

Sint Maarten needs more channels of this?

I'm proud of you.

3:19 what an awesome coincidence...

google search @ 0:39 too short city of dope 1988

Come on man you can change you life and still be drugged down to make a change . MUCH love and respect too Better living and Thinking it cleans the Soul

A cool solid dude Corey pegues

Cool as hell.... A cop who gave your ass all kind of breaks..lol. Peace from a real O. G!!!!

I admire this man for being man enough to make his past a reflection of his future..He did not destroy his future the stupid cops did and that writer that wanted to tell a story that might win him the pulixer prize only showed how backwards the NYPD was . So what he said things that got white people mad ,he also said things that got white cops protected on their beats....

To come from the street life and turn around & be a cop ... no disrespect but that’s some weird snake shit like how do you call those guys in the streets your brother but turn around and lock those same guys up? You had to be a dirty cop like the crew probably made you be a cop only way i can see you doing that shit and have no problems

Corey I'm sure TI wants to give it up like you did but his story ain't as dynamic as yours, you really dodged the bullet. Respect Top COP! we need more like you on our streets.

TRUE STORY

how you have so many fucking videos like this high quality and < 10k views and

I'm sorry but it is his story and he should be able to tell his story. People think that you can't change or they don't like the change you bring. Some people never wanted him to be on top because he is black. Period.... He is a person who should be honored. He accomplished something that most believe is impossible. Hats off to Corey.

Always was a smart dude.

T.I. Should definitely play him if they ever make the movie 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Stay fly ?

Yes there were other options .. Play ball go to church go to school

What happened to the Chicago mayor Marion Barry caught on tape smoking crack he was a black man what is the difference between selling it or doing it why isn't he get sober and have a second chance I bet he was a really nice person and a good mayor 🤔

If I tried to become a cop over they’d laugh at me😂

In the 80s i just shoveled snow n bagged groceries...i didn't fall into drug selling scene like most of my friends did...you cant blame GOVT for putting drugs in the hood..blame the people that sold yo peoples out...

He's alonzo off training day

How did you pass a background check to become a cop?

This dope is back trafficking dope in the hood.

One question I have is, did he retire from the police force or was he forced to resign because they found out he was a crack dealer

Salute! King!

NYPD or pba mad cause of is past life but became a great cop when most the pd became cops and planted drugs , killed etc is crazy.

I never read the Post.

This is a crazy story 😅 "Only in America 🇺🇸"

Damn I'm not gonna lie this a real nigga I like em....

"If they would have asked me I would've said yea I sold crack." Love it.

St Albans Murdock big ☝ queens

wow...

Corey..your life story is part of the creator of our universe's plan to help end the foolish war on drugs that has our nation broken !

Says something about NYPD and law enforcement in general. Also says a lot about former dealers and criminals. They relish in the opportunity to speak about their exploits. They love the attention. It’s interesting maybe more than it is disgraceful.

Yo he p.o. p.o. . that's cool. Being a death dealer. Not so cool. I'm just saying. He should have a tv show. How to cross over.

Just watched the hulu documentary today. The bullets didn't come out of that gun for a reason. God had different plans for him and he fulfilled them 😁

Your son is handsome.

Issa no for me …

@4:02...pardon me, Corey; posting these replies as I watch this video... But do you know, anyone, whether or not the *PBA* still hires operators to telemarket-cold-calls to homes seeking 'donations'?? After working for a politician and learning 'what' NYC is allotted each year via taxes to operate---we thought that *those cold-calls* were offensive! GALLED! And not for nothing...from reading your book, and what we all *know*... it's REALLY insulting for them to seek extra fiat from any [what's called] Black household. Sigh... Let's hope they've since ceased making such "requests."

He’s responsible for many deaths and many people getting addicted to a horrible drug made thousands doing it not fair

What's wrong with people!?

So he lied on his enlistment paperwork into the army and his police application....... glad he made it out

He sound like he lying

#garbage culture.

This guy is a joke

I'm sure he still selling drugz

this sound like raising kanan detective that’s his daddy
