HARRISBURG, Pa. – A suspected drug dealer arrives to make a sell to an undercover police officer in a taxicab. During the operation on Friday, February 12th, the Harrisburg Police Vice Unit purchased 15 bundles of heroin and 2 grams of crack cocaine from 29 year old Michael Hickerson for $975.

The undercover officer waited on the 1900 block of Primrose Street and a Keystone Taxi Cab pulled up. Hickerson got out of the vehicle and approached the undercover officer. As he was about to get back into the vehicle after the buy, officers confronted Hickerson and told him that he was under arrest.. Hickerson ran away but was tazed before he went too far. He was found to have 150 baggies of heroin, a small amount of crack, 2 baggies of marijuana, and 15 Alpazolam pills.

As this was happening the taxicab driver attempted to drive away but was stopped on 17th and North Streets. Officers approaching the vehicle immediately observed heroin in plain view and could smell a strong odor of marijuana emanating from within the cab.

The driver, Ashley Williams, 32, and the front seat passenger, Neville Hill, 34, were taken into custody. Hill provided a false name of Danay Hill. This may have to due with her being wanted on a Capias.
