DEA seizes 90 pounds of heroin in I-95 traffic stop

A Baltimore-area Drug Enforcement Administration task force seized more than 90 pounds of heroin Thursday after pulling over a vehicle on Interstate 95 in Howard County, court records show.

The amount of drugs could have a street value of more than $9 million, Special Agent Todd Edwards estimated.

"It's a very significant seizure," Edwards said.

A federal complaint unsealed Friday shows that police have been investigating a man named Perry Brown, 53, of Baltimore, and were tracking his phone when they received information about a possible drug transaction.

Investigators traced Brown's phone to a truck stop parking lot in the 8800 block of Washington Blvd. in Jessup, and watched as he removed two large bags from a tractor-trailer cab and placed them inside his vehicle, court records say. They followed Brown onto I-95, where Maryland Transportation Authority Police conducted a stop for alleged traffic violations near the I-195 exit.

They will get probation. Crime pays. The justice system talks the talk, but never walks the walk.
