Undercover cops raid apartment used in alleged drug operation
DAYTON — Undercover officers with the Dayton Police Department arrested four people Friday, Jan. 29, who police said used an east-side apartment to sell drugs.
Kenneth Pope Jr., 29, Raymond Bush Jr., 35, Katleen Carter, 44, and Tod Sams Sr., 40, were arrested at 805 Wilmington Ave., Apartment 29, on drug-related charges after undercover officers bought crack cocaine from the group, according to a police report.
Police said they received numerous complaints from residents who said drugs were being sold from the apartment and decided to take a look for themselves.
A controlled drug buy was foiled when Bush took the undercover officer’s $20 and left, according to a police report. But others inside the apartment said they felt bad and told the officers to call “Cowboy” and he “will take care of you,” the report stated.
Sams said the apartment was his and “Cowboy” later identified as Pope, would come just about every day, sell all the drugs he had and leave when he was sold out, the report stated.
Sams said Pope paid him in beer or crack for use of the apartment, the report stated.
The officers called Pope and setup another buy, the report stated. This time Pope arrived and sold the officers crack cocaine, the report stated.
He was arrested on a felony drug trafficking charge, the report stated. Sams was arrested on a felony charge of permitting drug use and Carter a drug possession charge after the officers found crack in her pants, the report stated.
Bush was also arrested on a felony drug trafficking charge.
Police urge anyone who suspects illegal activity in their neighborhood to call 333-COPS.
