Bartender, 85, busted for selling crack in S. Philly

Narcotics cops on Tuesday arrested William Morgan, 85, who allegedly sold drugs out of Mr. B's Bar, on 6th Street near Moyamensing Avenue in South Philly. The officers set up surveillance of the bar after a murder occurred outside the watering hole on Feb. 21. Narcotics Capt. Debra Frazier said investigators observed Morgan, a bartender, sell drugs to a confidential informant.

Police found 12 grams of heroin, 1 gram of crack, two poker machines and a 12-gauge shotgun inside the bar. Morgan (pictured, with awesome hair) was charged with possession with intent to deliver and related offenses.
