Two Scranton siblings face felony charges after the sale of crack cocaine to a confidential informant, police said.<\/p>\n
Jamie Miller, 40, and Zachary Miller, 39, both of 433 Tenth Ave., are charged with possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance.<\/p>\n
During June, members of the Lackawanna County Detective Drug Unit met with an informant regarding the person\u2019s involvement with Jamie Miller, according to a criminal complaint.<\/p>\n
The informant indicated they could purchase drugs from Miller and ordered a quantity of crack cocaine on a phone line recorded and monitored by investigators.<\/p>\n
During the recorded conversation, Jamie Miller directed the informant to her residence to complete the drug transaction.<\/p>\n
The informant was given money to buy the drugs and outfitted with a recording device so investigators could record the conversation during the buy.<\/p>\n
Investigators kept the informant under surveillance as they traveled to Miller\u2019s residence.<\/p>\n
The informant entered the residence, left a short time later and turned over to investigators an amount of crack cocaine consistent with the funds provided.<\/p>\n
The informant said the transaction had been completed with Zachary Miller.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, investigators executed a search warrant on the residence and took Jamie and Zachary Miller into custody.<\/p>\n
Jamie Miller told the investigators it was a \u201cbad time\u201d to serve the warrant because she didn\u2019t have much product left in the residence.<\/p>\n
She admitted to selling cocaine to support her drug habits.<\/p>\n
Investigators found several items of drug paraphernalia, 0.5 grams of crack cocaine and $399 in cash at the residence.<\/p>\n
Jamie Miller is also charged with criminal use of a cellphone and possession of drug paraphernalia.<\/p>\n
Jamie and Zachary Miller have preliminary hearings scheduled for 9 a.m. on July 2 before District Judge Sean Gallagher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two Scranton siblings face felony charges after the sale of crack cocaine to a confidential informant, police said.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6129,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[202,182,139,178,180,179],"class_list":["post-223322","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223322"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223322\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
