Suspected dealer gives a very suspect story
The suspect told police he was working a con on a “geeker”. He also said he was hoping to work his way up the drug ladder of success — jumping from selling marijuana to selling heroin.
The only problem he had was no heroin. He forgot to mention the nearly 2 grams of suspected heroin he tried to dump when confronted by two security guards.
Dayton police were call called to the Summit Square apartments around 7 p.m. Wednesday. The Ranger Security officers had the suspected dealer in handcuffs, while keeping watch on the alleged buyer.
The security officers told police they had spotted the white male in a car parked in the apartment’s lot. When they stopped to question him, they discovered a hypodermic needle. The man told the security officers he had used his cell phone to contact the suspected dealer and was waiting for the dealer to deliver. The security officers had the man remain in his car while they kept watch for the dealer.
When the suspected dealer came out the apartments and walked to the car, so did the security officers. The suspected dealer attempt to flee but stopped when one of the security officers drew his weapon and ordered the man to halt. The security officers recovered a baggie of what appeared to be heroin the suspected dealer dropped.
When questioned by police, the suspected dealer told them he had been sitting in his girlfriend’s car, eating Chinese and waiting on her as she was having her hair done. He was unable to tell police what apartment his girlfriend was visiting. The suspect told police he spotted the white male and walked up to his car, offering his phone number to the driver should he ever want any drugs.
The suspect told police he never intended to sell the drugs; rather he was planning to take the “geeker’s” money and run. A geeker is street slang for a white person, generally from the suburbs, who comes to Dayton to buy drugs. The driver was from Lebanon.
Without prompting, according to the police report, the suspect told police he’d been arrested two days prior for trafficking marijuana. He admitted he sold weed, but never hard drugs.
A further search of the suspect turned up a baggie of empty gel caps, the standard method for street dealers to sell heroin. Asked about the caps, the suspect said he was planning to become a heroin dealer.
He was taken to the Montgomery County Jail, awaiting his initial court appearance. The suspect previously had been released from jail a day earlier after no formal charges were filed in his trafficking arrest.
