Police: Worker sold crack at Main Line McDonald's

RADNOR TWP., Pa. (WPVI) -- A Main Line McDonald's employee is accused of dealing crack cocaine from the restaurant's parking lot while at work.

The suspect was identified as Allen Trammell, 29, of Philadelphia in a Wednesday morning news conference.

He worked at the McDonald's in the 500 block of West Lancaster Avenue in the Wayne section of Radnor Township for the past two years.

Detectives were tipped off to the drug dealing in June, and police say undercover officers made four buys between June and July

He was arrested on Tuesday night after the most recent undercover buy.

"Our officers would call ahead from a cell phone, establish a date and time where they would meet Mr. Trammell - when he was working at the McDonald's. He would walk into the parking lot and would sell crack cocaine, in package form, to undercover officers," said Lt. Andy Block. "And then he would return back to work."

"More upsetting is that one minute he's out in the parking lot selling crack cocaine, the next he's in the restaurant selling food," said Lt. Block.

Police confiscated more than a $100 in cash and a total of 157 packets of crack. They estimate that Trammell was netting about $1,500 a week once he payed off his supplier.

Trammell is charged with four counts of possession of a controlled substance, four counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and four counts of criminal use of a communication device.

He is being held on $100,000 bail.
