A Norristown man is headed to jail for admitting to dealing crack cocaine in Lansdale Borough.
Jevon Lamar Vaughn aka Jevon Cutty, 38, of the 600 block of Corson Street, pleaded guilty this week in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court to felony possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, and was sentenced to 11 to 23 months, with credit for time served of 212 days, according to court documents.
On Dec. 15, 2024 at 10:57 p.m., Vaughn was taken into custody at the Kenilworth Court Apartments at 349 W. Sixth St. at 10:57 p.m., police said. During a search of Vaughn, police allegedly found 40 heat-sealed baggies with white powdery rock-like substances, suspected to be crack cocaine, in his right pocket of his pants and $140 cash in the other pocket.
Two cell phones were also found on Vaughn and secured as evidence, due to the circumstances and seizure of drugs on him, police said. All in all, the baggies weighed a total of 12.5 grams, per the affidavit.
Vaughn admitted to owning both phones and gave permission to search their contents, police said. The search revealed alleged conversations and photographs indicative of drug trafficking and the sale of controlled substances, per the complaint.
Police said Vaughn confirmed that the drugs were his own and confessed to getting them from a supplier in Philadelphia and revealed how much he would receive in payment for selling an eighth ounce.
The drugs were not field tested, for fear they were heroin or fentanyl, which are easily absorbed through the skin, police said. They were sent out for lab testing, police said.
According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, small doses of fentanyl, even 0.25 mg, can be fatal.
A felony charge of criminal use of a communications device and misdemeanor drug charges were dismissed.
All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using public court records.
