In another case, Deandre Bentley, 31, of Philadelphia, was arrested by the Lycoming County Narcotics Enforcement Unit after a Jan. 18 incident in which they allegedly sold a confidential informant four zip lock baggies containing crack cocaine.

Following the buy, Bentley was stopped by South Williamsport Police on South Route 15, where they discovered the pre-recorded police money used by the confidential informant, according to court documents.

During the investigation, police discovered that Bentley was renting a unit at My Self Storage in South Williamsport.

A search warrant for the unit revealed 41 MDMA pills, 1.5 ounces of crack cocaine, 1.84 grams of fentanyl as well as a black Glock style 40 caliber handgun, an affidavit said.

Additionally, all drugs found in the unit were packaged consistent with street level drug dealing, police allege.

Bentley was charged with delivery of a controlled substance, criminal use of a communication facility, illegal possession of a firearm, three counts of possession with intent to manufacture or deliver a controlled substance and was remanded to the Lycoming County Prison in lieu of $90,000.
