Three Lebanon County residents are charged with attempting to purchase heroin from an undercover police officer on March 13, 2014.
Officers from the Lebanon County Drug Task Force (LCDTF) say Kristina M. Miller, 26, of Jonestown, called a cell phone to purchase heroin. Unbeknownst to Miller, the phone had been seized by police the previous day from a suspected drug dealer.
Miller, along with Dustin Lee Etzweiler, 25, of Lebanon, and Dustin L. Miller, 28, of Jonestown, went to the courthouse parking lot to make the transaction. That is where they were taken into custody.
Police say Miller had the cash for the deal as well as the cell phone used to arrange the transaction.
Police say Etzweiler was found to be in possession of two smoking devices, one suspected of use for marijuana, and a second used for smoking bath salts.
Kristina M. Miller, her brother in law, Dustin L. Miller, and Etzweiler were charged with Criminal Attempt to Possess Heroin, and Criminal Conspiracy to Possess Heroin. Etzweiler was also charged with Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
Etzweiler was taken into custody on an outstanding warrant and walked the few feet to the Lebanon County Central Booking Center. The Miller’s were released and charged via summons.
