More arrests are made in connection with several recent drug investigations.
Lisa Bowman, 47, of the 1300 block of Christoff Street,
Nanty Glo, was arrested after trying to deliver methadone to a Cambria
County Drug Task detective she thought was a friend of another woman
already under arrest.
Lacey Warzel, 19, of Twin Rocks, was arrested for interfering with police trying to arrest another suspect at her home.
Police
say Bowman became a person of interest after they arrested three women, including two sisters, accused of of distributing tens of thousands of
dollars worth of prescription pills.. Shawna Delozier, 22, of Revloc; Kathleen Weimer, 20, of East
Conemaugh; and Weimers sister, Kelly, 22, of East Taylor Township,
were arrested Oct. 28.
While Kathleen Weimer was being taken into custody, her cell phone kept ringing. A county detective finally answered it, claiming to be a friend of Weimers. The person on the other end said she had "dunes" for Weimer. "Dunes" is a street name for methadone.
The
caller was Bowman, who agreed to meet the detective at Weimers home.
He arrested her when she offered him 60 pills hidden in a cigarette box. She is now being held int he Cambria Conty Prison.
Warzel
was arrested while county detectives were trying to arrest Kasey W.
Yarnell, 33, of the 1300 block of Burn Street, Nanty Glo. Warzel is
accused of selling Oxycodone to an undercover officer and a police
informant outside his home.
When police tried to take Yarnell
into custody, Warzel insisted he was not in her Twin Rocks home, police
said. After repeated warnings, police entered her home and found
Yarnell hiding in a bedroom.
