Police Find Heroin Hidden In Roof Liner Of Vehicle
EAST HUNTINGDON (KDKA) -- A Uniontown man is facing charges after police found heroin hidden in his vehicle.
Pennsylvania State Police say around 6 p.m. Saturday they stopped a vehicle on Route 119, near the Route 31 interchange.
Driver Anthony B. Evans, 39, consented to a search of the car.
The trooper searching the car noticed a hypodermic needle.
"Something doesn't seem right, that needle wasn't the end of his search," Trooper Stephen Limani said. "There was a piece of plastic attached to the headliner area, and if you pull it down, that's where Velcro and adhesive was, and it [heroin] was wedged between the roof of the car and the plastic."
