Crack, Ecstasy, Cocaine, Gun More Found After Marple Traffic Stop

MARPLE TOWNSHIP, PA — Marple Township Police charged a Philadelphia man with gun, drug, and related crimes following a traffic stop last week.

Kevin Lamont Fisher, 34, of Philadelphia, was charged with narcotics violations, firearms violations and violations of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code, according to police and court records.

The charges stemmed from an 11:47 p.m. traffic stop on Thursday near Veterans Boulevard and Lawrence Road.

Police stopped a vehicle after noticing it did not have functioning brake lights.

Officers encountered Fisher, who was driving the vehicle.

While interacting with Fisher, police smelled marijuana, leading police to investigate further, according to police.

Police then found marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine, ecstasy, and Xanax pills, more than $300 in cash, multiple cell phones, drug trafficking paraphernalia, and a .380 caliber Glock firearm that was previously reported stolen out of Philadelphia, authorities said.

Fisher’s criminal history prevents him from legally owning or possessing a firearm, police said.

He has previously pleaded guilty to simple assault and drug crimes, according to court documents.

He was held after failing to post 10 percent of $100,000 bail.

Fisher is scheduled for a Sept. 1 preliminary hearing, court records show.
