On January 21, 2010, the Ocean City Police Department concluded a four month prescription drug distribution investigation with the arrest of a Berlin, Maryland man identified as: Patrick William Hightower, 42-years-old.
Hightower was arrested without incident, on January 21, 2010, after he sold the suspected prescription narcotics to an undercover OCPD narcotics detective. During the investigation, Hightower sold prescription drugs to police at
least twice.
Hightower has been charged with 2 counts of Distribution of a Controlled Dangerous Substance which is a Felony. Hightower was seen by an Ocean City District Court
Commissioner and was held on $100,000 bond. Hightower has been transferred to the Worcester County Jail.
The OCPD reminds citizens that selling prescription medication is a crime. The person you may be dealing with may be an undercover OCPD detective. If you are involved in this type of activity you may be arrested.

Didn't this fool see any episodes of "The Wire" on HBO? i guess this guy actually is as dumb as he looks! Ha!
"Hightower sold Rx Drugs to cops at least twice." "If you are involved in this type of activity you May be arrested"
Why didn't they arrest him the first time? How many kids did this scumbag sell drugs to between the first sting and the arrest? If he did, then OCPD - You are Guilty!
4:59 - Easy...easy...my short sighted friend. Maybe OCPD is looking for the source of the drugs....how does this guy get the drugs? Suckers like this guy are born every minute and the source can replace him in no time. So the OCPD is doing prudent police work so they can ensure there is not a bigger fish to fry (the source) or that they have a strong enough case to ensure that they put this guy away for at least a while. So take it easy with the cop beatdowns...there are many good ones out there doing great work (except the one that gave me a speeding tix last week...jk!)
This problem seems to be getting bigger here in OCMD (and everywhere) and I am glad when they get any pusher/junkie off the street. Good job OCPD. Hopefully this guy is sweatin' it out and considering next time getting a job to make his ends meet and thinking twice about that "easy money". Punk.
