The number of cases pending trial for a suspected drug dealer has grown to three.

Anthony S. McGuire, 37, who has no known address, on Monday waived his preliminary hearing in the latest case that Butler police filed that same day.

He is charged with driving under the influence of a controlled substance, three counts of possession of a controlled substance, and one count each of possession of drug paraphernalia and failing to keep right.

City police arrested McGuire after his vehicle nearly hit a patrol car shortly after 10 p.m. March 27 on West Wayne Street, according to court documents.

The defendant appeared high on drugs after an officer pulled him over in the 400 block of Liberty Street. He was searched and found with 19 stamp bags of suspected heroin, police said.

Inside a fast food bag in the vehicle, police allegedly found more contraband including a syringe loaded with a clear liquid, a spoon with suspected drug residue and a cigarette pack with a crack pipe in it.

Still more evidence — including $2,669 in currency — was seized from a back pack that was on the driver’s seat floor, police said.

The money was in a brown paper sack within the back pack, which also contained a digital scale, eight syringes, two spoons, five razor blades, and a Chore Boy copper scrubber, which is commonly used to filter crack pipes.

Additionally, police said they found in the pack three clonazepam pills and two Suboxone strips for which McGuire did not have prescriptions.

He was eventually released. But two months later, Butler police arrested him again.
