Immediately, the officer felt a baggie of suspected crack cocaine protruding from Grady’s buttocks.

The Court found that based on the amount of Cocaine, the denominations of money found on Grady, the manner in which the cocaine was being hidden, and the lack of any drug use paraphernalia – James Grady possessed the crack cocaine for distribution.

“Dollar” was on the Safe Streets Top Prosecution list.
