ALTOONA, Pa. (AP) - May 2, 2008
Twenty-year-old Michael Conforti, of Hackettstown, N.J., was
charged in the aftermath of a sweep last month by the Blair County
Drug Task Force and Logan Township police. He was originally
charged with three drug deals involving a confidential informant
but on Thursday authorities added charges of possession with intent
to deliver cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Police based those charges on drugs, nearly $3,500 in cash and
other items they say they found at Conforti's residence. Police say
Conforti told them he sold drugs because his mother's poor credit
rating kept him from getting student loans.
Conforti's public defender isn't commenting on the charges.
