Six charged in separate drug cases
Upon entering David Lopez’s city apartment at 1037 Dewey Ave. with a search warrant on April 27, members of the county’s Narcotics Enforcement Unit (NEU) discovered packaged crack cocaine in a safe, a dresser and a bedroom closet, according to an affidavit filed at Frey’s office.
Also in the safe was a stolen handgun, investigators said, adding that Lopez, 28, had on him an estimated $3,000 of suspected drug money and two cellphones, one a girlfriend told police was his “drug work phone,” court records stated.
An estimated two ounces of crack cocaine was seized at the scene. Following his arraignment hours later before District Judge Christian Frey on charges of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, illegal possession of a firearm and felony receiving stolen property, Lopez was committed to the Lycoming County Prison in lieu of $150,000 bail.
