Man wonders where heroin came from
When a police dog alerted officers to the presence of drugs in a vehicle stopped on South Euclid Avenue Monday, the 19-year-old driver allegedly claimed it wasn’t his.
An officer asked Trammell Stanford why he had 17 gel caps of heroin in a baggie in his vehicle, to which Stanford replied, “I was wondering why I had it in there too,” according to a police report.
Stanford was pulled over for a tinted window violation at about 5:45 p.m., Feb. 13. He had $3,513 in cash in his pockets and another $245 in the car.
The police dog that located the heroin in the car also alerted officers to the odor of drugs on the cash.
The total weight of the heroin was 3 grams, worth between $200 and $300 on the street.
Stanford was booked into the Montgomery County Jail where he faces a felony drug possession charge.
Jail and court records show that Stanford was arrested on Jan. 16 for resisting arrest and obstructing official business. He pleaded not guilty to the latter charge Jan. 18 and has a pre-trial hearing set for Feb. 26. His initial court appearance on the drug charge is scheduled for Feb. 15.
