Cell phone photos aid in drug arrest
DAYTON — A Dayton man arrested for selling drugs on Tuesday, April 21, had pictures of himself on his cell phone packaging the drugs and claimed the money exchanged was actually for a lawn mowing debt.
Carlton Harris, 19, was arrested on charges of possessing criminal tools and trafficking in drugs at 1210 Everett Drive following the incident at 9:20 p.m., according to a police report. Undercover Dayton police detectives set up a drug purchase through cell phone conversations with a phone later found on Harris, the report said.
Harris met the detectives’ car at the address and sold them six capsules of narcotics for $80, the report said.
After Harris’ arrest, officers recovered the cell phone they called to set up the deal and another that contained a photo of Harris apparently separating drugs over a plate with a razor blade and placing it into capsules, the report said.
During an interview with officers, still not knowing that undercover officers had been in the car to which he sold the drugs, Harris said the money exchanged was meant to settle a debt for lawns he mowed, the report said.
