Man Busted for Crack Cocaine Possession

Roosevelt Louis Dale, 23, of 580 Devils Foot Road, Apt. C201 in North Kingstown, was arrested Feb. 22 at 10:10 a.m. on charges of possession of marijuana and domestic disorderly conduct and a felony charge of possession of crack cocaine with intent to sell.

Police responded to Dale’s apartment after receiving a call of a domestic dispute. Inside, officers saw the apartment was in disarray with a television knocked over, debris on the floor and laundry detergent stains on the floor and walls. Fearing that Dale had a weapon on him, police conducted a pat down and allegedly found Dale clutching two clear plastic bags filled with a off-white, powdery  rock substance in his sweatshirt pocket. According to one of the officers, the substance looked like crack cocaine. They placed Dale in handcuffs.

Police continued searching Dale and found two stacks of cash totaling $1,828 banded together in his left pocket. When officers asked Dale where he got the drugs, he allegedly told them, “I am not saying anything else; you already found the drugs. Just bring me to jail.”

After obtaining a search warrant police found two cell phones (one hidden beneath the couch), a scale with cocaine residue, a glass jar containing three grams of cocaine, a marijuana pipe, a digital scale and other items.

He is scheduled to appear in Third District Court on March 27.
