Detectives watching a stretch of East 24th Street between 17th and 18th avenues spotted 25-year-old Dhamis T. Perry looking into the unoccupied vehicles “while constantly looking around” him, Berdnik said.
Detectives approached Perry and smelled marijuana on him, the sheriff said.
This prompted a search that turned up the heroin, along with a small bag of marijuana, in his right front jacket pocket, Berdnik said.
The drugs were worth about $2,000 on the street, he said.
Perry was later released pending a court appearance.
