Crack Pipe

James Doran, 56, of Forest Park, was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug equipment.

Police said he moved around frantically in the car when seeing officers, so they conducted an interview because of the drug use and sales in the apartment complex in the 8000 block of Roosevelt Rd. 

Officers spotted a crack pipe on the passenger's side floor and said Doran possessed 2.3 grams of crack cocaine.  He was given a July 18 court date.
