A Daisytown man was arrested Sunday on charges he sold a confidential informant working for detectives in an undercover heroin case 20 empty stamp bags last month for $160, court records indicate.

The Washington County District Attorney’s Drug Task Force claimed to have found other heroin paraphernalia when they served an arrest warrant on Winston Clements III at his home about 1 a.m. Sunday.

An undercover task force detective used the informant to arrange via text messages to purchase heroin from Clements about 11:10 a.m. Feb. 11 in the 100 block of Wood Street, the affidavit alleges.

Clements supplied the informant with 20 heroin stamp bags labeled either Mercedes Benz or AT&T, but when investigators returned to their office they discovered they had been sold bags containing only trace amounts of the drug, the record indicates.

Clements, 23, of 667 Pike Run Drive, was charged with drug possession with intent to deliver, criminal use of a communications facility, drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.

He was released from Washington County jail Sunday after posing $35,000 bond set by District Judge Larry Hopkins.
