Police chase, arrest alleged heroin dealer at Dayton Mall
MIAMI TWP., Montgomery County — Undercover Dayton police detectives chased on foot and arrested a man for allegedly setting up a heroin deal in the Dayton Mall parking lot on Tuesday, May 12.
Jeffrey L. Smith, 23, was arrested near the JCPenney store at about 8 p.m. on charges of trafficking in drugs, possession of drugs and possession of criminal tools following the undercover sting, according to a police report.
Detectives first called Smith to set up a heroin buy in Dayton, but Smith instructed them in later calls to park outside of Elder-Beerman at the Dayton Mall, the report said. When Smith drove his car to meet the detectives, who had agreed to pay $100 for a gram of heroin, he became nervous and said, “You gotta move outta here,” the report said.
Smith then drove off, parking his car nearby and went into the mall, the report said. When he left the mall and got back into his car, detectives blocked the vehicle, and Smith fled on foot. After a short chase, detectives arrested Smith on the pavement, the report said.
Smith had 9.28 grams of heroin and $1,464 in cash in his pants pockets, the report said.
