Derek Archie, who also goes by the name "Diese (pronounced Dice) Game" was arrested at the Days Inn in Auburn on Feb. 8 by the Finger Lakes Drug Task Force. When officers searched Archie's hotel room they found cocaine in his clothing, as well as hidden inside a secret compartment inside a safe that looked like a peanut butter jar, District Attorney Jon Budelmann said. Police also found glassine envelopes and $160 previously used in a drug sale that took place in the room, he said. Archie has prior convictions, that combined with his conviction Wednesday in a bench trial before visiting Wayne County Judge Stephen R. Sirkin, could push his sentence up to 12 years, Budelmann said. The case was tried by Assistant District Attorney Rome Canzano
