drug dealing, Off. Hyson did stop Gonzalez-Silva in a vehicle in the 800 block of East Chestnut

the vehicle. Off. Hyson and a DTF detective later searched the vehicle further, and located
and seized an additional 682 bags of heroin, as well as $2150.00 in cash. A subsequent
search of a Manheim Township hotel room registered to Gonzalez-Silva, yielded additional
bags of heroin, approximately 128 grams of cocaine, and drug paraphernalia commonly used
the delivery of controlled substances.
The controlled substances seized during this
investigation, have an approximate street value of $12,000.
Accused: Maharris Gonzalez-Silva, 29
