Tremain Murphy, 37, was standing in a Carroll Street doorway near Governor Street when Officer Angelo Calabro approached him shortly after 1:30 a.m. Thursday, Sheriff Richard H. Berdnik said.
Murphy reached into his waistband and refused several of the officer’s orders to remove his hands, Berdnik said.
After grabbing Murphy, Calabro patted him down, found him carrying 47 vials of crack and nine heroin folds and arrested him, the sheriff said.
Murphy was released pending further court action.
