North Huntingdon, PA -- The Westmoreland County Drug Task Force, agents with the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, and North Huntingdon Township Police Department cooperatively arrested a Braddock man accused of meeting with an undercover officer to sell suspected heroin/fentanyl. 

Undercover officers established communication with Yusuf Tinsley-Ewell, 29, of Braddock, for the purposes of obtaining heroin/fentanyl as part of an ongoing drug investigation.

Tinsley-Ewell agreed to sell the undercover officer 10 bricks of heroin/fentanyl for $1,800. 

Officers set up a meeting place within North Huntingdon Township to make the undercover drug transaction.

Police said Tinsley-Ewell arrived at the prearranged location in an Uber and was picked up by the undercover officer who set up the buy. 

Tinsley-Ewell allegedly exchanged the drugs for $1,800 and was arrested upon exiting a retail store with $1,700 left in the prerecorded money used in the drug transaction, according to police. 

Police processed the evidence and determined 430 stamp bags of suspected heroin/fentanyl, and two baggies of cocaine were delivered by Tinsley-Ewell.
