Alleged drug dealer tells police he was helping Girl Scouts
DAYTON - Task force agents with the Community Initiative to Reduce Gun Violence said they foiled a drug deal for Vicodin pills Thursday, Nov. 19, and made a more surprising discovery while searching the alleged seller’s SUV.
The Dayton Police officers were patrolling the area of 2000 Needmore Road about 7 p.m. when they noticed Lacory Adams’ SUV parked near a sedan belonging to another man, according to a police report.
Adams was bent over, leaning on the other man’s car window, when officers pulled up to ask the men questions, the report stated.
Adams said he was selling the man 20 Vicodin pills for $50 and was selling drugs to help his daughter’s Girl Scouts troop, the report stated.
He gave officers consent to search his SUV, where they found a loaded 9-millimeter handgun with seven rounds, including one in the chamber, the report stated.
Adams, 28, said he and his girlfriend bought the gun at a recent “gun and knife show” for protection, the report stated.
The other man, 31, told the officers he needed the pills because he has back problems, the report stated. Both of the suspects’ cars were towed, and the men were taken to Montgomery County Jail.
Adams faces felony charges of carrying a concealed weapon and drug trafficking. The second man was later released from jail without charges being filed.
