A 19-year-old Naperville man has been arrested for selling 49 bags of heroin valued at $1,000 to an undercover cop during an investigation into the local drug dealer, police said.
Amari D. Hill, of 1513 West Jefferson St., was arrested on March 18 in a parking lot near the intersection of Ogden and Jefferson avenues and is charged with one count of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance.
The investigation into Amari began in February when Naperville police received a tip that a subject was selling large quantities of heroin from an apartment complex on West Jefferson Street, according to a Naperville Police Department press release.
