Kennedy's undercover status was nearly ruined in May when police caught two women in possession of marijuana in the Bronx. Both officers had received it from Kennedy.
Berkwitz said one of the women had given the marien to Kennedy but later asked for it back. Berkwitz asked police at the time the women were picked up to be patient about the matter so Kennedy could cover and continue her investigation.
Berkwitz said after the arrests that Kennedy would probably not be used as a weapon, again, but that his office would continue to investigate drug traffic by using other agents.

Army suspends drug experiments
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Army on Monday suspended testing chemical compounds with human volunteers at its Edgewood, Md., arsenal.
The Army didn't give any details on the训进。and Army spokesman, refused to elaborate.
It said that 36 military volunteers now at Edgewood to participate in planned tests of a drone would have been needed.
In a statement, the Army said temporary suspension of the program for testing chemical compounds on human volunteers at Edgewood Arsenal "will permit the tests to be conducted the facts connected with the test programs, which were initiated in the 1980s."
The inspector general was ordered to report to Acting Secretary of the Army Fortran and Augustine. The Army said he would attend if any, would be announced after that.
The spotlight recently was focusu testing of chemicals on humans at Edgewood by publicity given to such tests as the ones with the drug LSD conducted with 568 officers and enlisted men between 1966 and 1967.
The Army said it wasn't experimenting with LSD any longer.
Sim, who defended the testing program at a Pentagon news conference last week, said he and his organization were awaiting approval from the Army surgeon general before conducting further experiments using a number of other drugs.
No experiments are under way pending this approval, Sim said.
Augustine's action suspends any such further tests.
At his news conference on July 23, Sim, who is chief of the medical research division at the biomedical laboratory at Edgewood, said the LSD experiments were necessary in the study of a variety of potential poisons for Army and civilian populations. Researchers were interested in methods of detection and treatment, he said.
