CLEVELAND - Police say a Cleveland cell phone store was being used for heroin deals.
The Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department arrested 37-year-old Nathan Pitts Sr., of Cleveland, on drug trafficking charges, following a heroin bust Thursday afternoon.
Deputies said a tip led to an investigation of Tech Masters, a cell phone and computer business in the 4000 block of Harvard Avenue. Deputies set up surveillance and later found that Pitts was selling heroin out of the store, according to the sheriff's department.
Officers searched both Tech Masters and Pitts’ home, where they found the drugs were being stored. Deputies called Pitts a significant seller of heroin at the family-run business.
