Detectives moved in after watching a trio slinging heroin at the corner of Broadway and Summer Street, near the city public library, around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, city Police Director Jerry Speziale said.
They collected the crew members’ stash of 353 folds and seized Shameek T. McDougald, 26, Shequan Roberts, 21, and a boy, 15, he said.
Less than two hours later, the investigators watched a deal go down at the corner of Main and Slater streets.
As they approached the corner, a 17-year-old dealer bolted, tossing drugs as he ran, Speziale said.
Detectives grabbed the teen as he tried to duck into a Grand Avenue storefront and took him into custody. They also seized nearly two dozen bags of heroin and some crack that he’d tossed during the pursuit, the director said
The adults were charged with criminal drug-related offenses and the youths were issued delinquency complaints.
