A Marion man is facing trafficking charges this morning, accused of peddling heroin. Allen Creagh, 29, was arrested in his vehicle as the result of a weeks long drug investigation conducted by the MARMET/METRICH Enforcement Unit.
A search warrant was obtained independent of the traffic stop for Creagh’s residence on E. Church Street, and was served shortly after 5 P.M.
MARMET detectives say they located heroin inside the residence, as well as paraphernalia indicative of drug trafficking. $999 in cash was also seized from Creagh and another passenger in the traffic stop.
Creagh was arrested on two counts of Trafficking in heroin, and one count of possession of heroin.
This is the second felony heroin case presented on Creagh in the last two months.
“MARMET Detectives have worked multiple hours on this case stemming largely from tips-line complaints”, said Lt. B.J. Gruber, unit supervisor of the MARMET/METRICH Enforcement Unit.
“This location is a short distance from our public library and we are pleased that as of today, this location will be closed for business”, added Gruber.
