Police stopped the operator of a vehicle for a traffic violation at 7:37 p.m. Monday in the area of North Third and Bridge streets. Police allegedly detected the odor of marijuana coming from inside of the vehicle.
Dillon was the operator of the vehicle, police said, noting he was wanted on warrants from both the Pennsylvania State Police and Domestic Relations.
During the traffic stop, a passenger, Smith, allegedly provided police with a false name. Upon investigation police found Smith was using a false name due to a warrant for his arrest in Centre County.
According to police, a second passenger, Womack, was found to be wanted in Lancaster County. Dillon, Smith and Womack were all subsequently taken into custody by police.
While questioning a third passenger, Torres, police said she turned over a plastic bag, which she had in her purse, containing marijuana and $965 cash. Police also seized 21 packets of cocaine; 31 packets of heroin; and a small amount of pills.
In 2013, Womack was arrested by Lancaster City police for weapons and assault charges for allegedly shooting into an occupied vehicle, police said. “Clearfield police have noticed an increase in the amount of controlled substances coming from New York, Philadelphia, Lancaster and Baltimore to the Clearfield area.
Police added that, “The dealers are staying in hotels in State College, Altoona and Clearfield. The drugs are then being distributed to the smaller communities like Clearfield.”
Police said that they appreciate tips and leads from the public and investigate all of them. Police are asking the public to report any suspicious activity, so that it may be subject to investigation.
