Throughout all five drug deals, police informants used telephones as a means of contacting Jackson, police said.

For the first deal, Jackson agreed to sell $140 worth of crack cocaine and heroin from a meeting point on the 1300 block of Woodbourne Road. The second, third, and fourth sales were for $100 worth of the same drugs and took place at the same location. The fifth sale for $100 of drugs took place in the Cobalt Ridge neighborhood of Levittown in Middletown, police said.

Court papers indicated that the controlled substances were turned over to police immediately following the deals.
