ALLENTOWN, Pa. | Allentown police investigating a shots-fired report last weekend arrested a convicted felon after allegedly finding drugs and cash inside his Front Street apartment.
Police responded to Front and Allen streets shortly after 3 a.m. last Saturday to investigate a report of gunshots. An officer reported finding about nine 9mm shell casings in front of an apartment building in the 600 block of North Front Street and one shell casing inside the buildingâs foyer, according to the criminal complaint.
Building video surveillance reportedly showed a man later identified as Derek D. Belk fire a handgun out the front door and walk back to his apartment still holding the gun, according to court records.
