DONORA – Probation officers performing a compliance check on a Donora drug suspect’s home say they stumbled onto a cache of heroin, crack and marijuana in his residence.

The Feb. 16 discoveries led Donora police to file a string of new drug charges against Christian Alexander “Criddy” Lowe, 26, who is awaiting trial in Washington County Court in an October drug case in the borough and had just pleaded guilty to drug delivery last April, court records show.

Washington County probation officers on Feb. 16 summoned borough police to Lowe’s residence at 451 Fifth St. about 9:30 p.m. and led officers to a bedroom drawer that allegedly contained 44 stamp bags of heroin, a plastic bag containing crack and another bag of marijuana, police stated in the affidavit supporting the criminal charges in the case.

Police allowed Lowe to call his mother, and officers overheard him telling her they found drugs in his bedroom, the record alleges. The weights of the drugs were to be determined by the state police crime laboratory.

Lowe was sent that day to Washington County Jail on a probation violation. The new charges were filed against him Wednesday before District Judge Mark Wilson in Monongahela. Lowe is scheduled to be arraigned on those charges at 11 a.m. Friday before Wilson.

He faces two felony counts of drug possession with intent to deliver and 48 counts of drug possession.
