Routine Probation Visit Turns Into Drug Arrest

On January 20, 2026, Bucks County Probation officers responded to the 2000 block of Carriage Way to conduct a routine probation check on 68-year-old Wayne Jay Hills.

During the check, the probation officer advised Hills that his bedroom would be searched. Upon entering the bedroom, the officer observed a clear plastic bag containing a crystal-like substance consistent with methamphetamine on the nightstand. Also located on the nightstand was a glass smoking pipe containing burnt brown and white residue.

When questioned, Hills admitted the items belonged to him.

Hills was taken into custody and transported to the Bucks County Correctional Facility for violating the conditions of his probation. A criminal complaint was subsequently filed at the district court.

Criminal charges, and any discussion thereof, are merely allegations and all defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
