ANNAPOLIS, MD — A man police say was selling heroin out of his car was arrested in Annapolis last week with the illegal drug and lots of cash on him.

About 10:30 a.m. on May 3, Annapolis Police officers saw Akeem Young, 28, of Annapolis in the 700 block of Newtowne Drive, where he was walking back and forth to a vehicle parked with the engine running.

Young was sought on an open warrant for trespassing, so police arrested him as he sat inside the vehicle.
