According to officials, on September 23, detectives noticed Harley driving north on Interstate 95 in Baltimore and worked with the FBI Philadelphia and Delaware State officials of Troop 2 Drug Unit to devise an arrest strategy.
Harley’s vehicle was tracked to Philadelphia, where he allegedly obtained a controlled dangerous substance.
Police say that when he returned to Delaware, state police performed a traffic stop, and a K9 scan revealed the presence of drugs. A search order executed on the vehicle uncovered a compressed kilogram and a separate bag of powder cocaine weighing 1,252 grams, both stored in an electronically controlled compartment behind the radio.
Harley now faces state charges in Delaware, with federal charges being considered.
