Nassau County police say Julio Enmanuel Pena, 39 of Freeport, arranged to sell cocaine to a customer and had his 13-year-old daughter complete the transaction.
After an investigation, Pena was arrested at his home at 12:40 p.m. Monday.
Additional substances believed to be cocaine were recovered during the arrest, police said.
Pena is charged with three counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, third degree; two counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance, third degree; conspiracy, third degree; use of a child to commit a controlled substance offense; and endangering the welfare of a child.
He is set to be arraigned Tuesday in First District Court in Hempstead.
