Racine Man Arrested On Charges Of Possession Of Heroin, Cocaine, and Marijuana With Intent To Deliver

RACINE - Dashawn L. Wright, 21, of Racine, was arrested March 20 on multiple drug charges during a buy-bust operation with the help of a police informant.

An investigator was working with a woman who was involved in her friend's recent drug overdose, who contacted the suspect to deliver heroin to her apartment. The woman said Wright had previously delivered drugs to her apartment and would most likely have at least one gram of heroin on him, along with crack cocaine.

About 10 minutes later, Wright called the informant to let her know he had arrived. Police converged on a vehicle in the lot and detained a male passenger who matched the description provided. During a patdown, an officer felt a large ball along the suspect's inner thigh. Wright was uncooperative and began to resist so officers had to subdue him to the ground.

After subduing the subject, officers found 6.1 grams of heroin in 28 individually wrapped bags, 6.3 grams of crack cocaine in 21 bags, and 5.8 grams of marijuana in two packages.

Wright was arrested on charges of obstructing an officer (repeat offense), possession of heroin with intent to deliver, possession of cocaine with intent to deliver, and possession of THC with intent to deliver.

Wright has previously been charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and misdemeanor attempted forgery, both in Lake County, Illinois.
