Shaquan Wright picked up a new customer in June, but it wasn’t the kind of a customer a heroin dealer wants.
State College police used an informant to make four buys from the alleged dealer over the last two months, according to a criminal complaint.
They executed a search warrant on his house Wednesday and arrested the Boalsburg man after finding approximately two grams of heroin and cash used in the controlled purchases. The police made four such purchases through their informant dating back to June before raiding Wright’s home.
He is facing nine felony charges for possession with intent to deliver heroin after the bust at his Boalsburg home, located at 704 Torrey Lane.
He also faces four felony charges for criminal use of a communication facility and five misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance.
Wright was unable to post bail at a Wednesday arraignment and is being held in the Centre County prison. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 26 with judge Steven Lachman.
