EAST SPENCER — Police Chief Floyd Baldo said he arrested Roy Thomas Gallimore, 32, Friday and charged him with possession of cocaine.

Baldo said he received a call about 4 p.m. Friday that a drug transaction had taken place near Weant and South Long streets.

He received a description of the suspect’s vehicle, occupied by a man and woman. Baldo located the car minutes later at Reid’s Square on Andrew Street, where Gallimore was using a public telephone.

Baldo said he approached the man and woman and informed them of the information he received and conducted a search of Gallimore.

He reported finding a dollar bill in Gallimore’s pants pocket with two rocks of crack cocaine in the bill.

“Gallimore stated that he just found the dollar bill on the ground at the pay phone and thought it was his lucky day,” Baldo said.

It was not.

Gallimore was placed under a $2,500 secured bond.
