A gun carrying drug dealer was caught in the act on March 8th 2022.
It was about 3 AM when Officers Randall Myers and Charlie Darkes-Burkey spotted an adult male acting suspiciously in an area well-known for drug sales. The male attempted to leave the area in his car, not realizing that our officers were already several steps ahead of him. Unable to hide from officers, he was stopped for a traffic violation. Still thinking he was smarter than our officers, the driver unsuccessfully tried to hide an illegal handgun underneath his seat. Further investigation found a significant amount of marijuana, methamphetamine, and drug packaging materials.
Thank you Officers Myers and Darkes-Burkey for your diligence in removing guns, drugs, and criminals from Lancaster City!
