A White Oak man was arrested following a traffic stop after Allegheny County police alleged he was in possession of crack cocaine, marijuana and a digital scale used to weigh narcotics.
Lamont J. Price, 27, is being held in the Allegheny County Jail pending a preliminary hearing Oct. 21 before Magisterial District Judge Eugene F. Riazzi Jr.
According to a criminal complaint, county detectives were working a violence suppression detail in the area of Crawford Village in McKeesport on Oct. 9 when they observed a Ford Escape make a turn without signalling, and then go through a stop sign.
Officers pulled over the vehicle outside of Building 61 and questioned the driver and a passenger, identified as Price, according to the complaint. Police said Price was in possession of approximately 5 grams of suspected crack cocaine and 7 grams of suspected marijuana, as well as the scale.
Officers also recovered what the complaint described as a large amount of U.S. currency, separated into three different bundles.
