Homeless Man Arrested On Heroin Dealing, Theft Charges: Log

CONCORD, NH – Jason T. Cooper, 30, pictured, a homeless man now located in Concord, was arrested at 2:01 p.m. on May 24, 2016, for felony sale of controlled drugs-heroin and theft by deception. The drug dealing charge stems from an alleged incident on Jan. 22, 2016, at the Rite Aid on South Street; the theft charge stemmed from an alleged incident on Manchester Street on Jan. 26, 2016. Officers were sent to the Morning Star Apartments on Loudon Road for a report that Cooper, who had active warrants, might have been in one of the apartments. The tipster told the reporting officer which apartment Cooper might be in and officers went to speak with him. No one reportedly responded to the officers knocking on the door but they found that the door was unlocked. When a second officer partially opened the door, they allegedly found Cooper in the middle of a room walking back from the door and a woman ducking behind a door. The officers confirmed that neither person was armed and then advised Cooper that he had warrants. “Cooper stated he was unaware of the warrant,” the officer alleged, “(but) remained cooperative at the scene.” The woman and Cooper were also served with no trespass orders for the apartment. He’s due in court on July 11.
