Lackawanna County detectives arrested a homeless man wanted on a bench warrant Thursday after he allegedly sold heroin in Scranton.
David Hope, 19, was arrested at Pond Avenue and Dean Street after he sold the drug in a deal arranged by investigators, according to a criminal complaint.
At the time, he was already wanted on a bench warrant filed by the Lackawanna County sheriff's office.
Mr. Hope failed to appear for a drug test on July 19, stemming from a previous case in which he was charged with possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, according to The Times-Tribune archives.
On Sunday, Mr. Hope appeared in The Sunday Times' Most Wanted column.
Mr. Hope - who was found with six bags of heroin after the deal on Thursday - was taken into custody on the bench warrant and additionally charged with possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and criminal use of a communications facility, among related charges.
