MontCo DA: Lansdale man took toddler along on drug deliveries
Lansdale man took toddler along to sell drugs, police say.
Montgomery County authorities have arrested a man with a twisted idea of "Take Your Child to Work Day."
Chheng Ploysy, 24, of Lansdale, allegedly sold drugs to undercover officers at least three times — while toting his 3-year-old child along for the illicit deals, according to Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman.
Ploysy on Sept. 1 even delivered cocaine and marijuana to an undercover officer on his bike, with his son sitting behind him in a bike trailer, police said. Ploysy also sold drugs to undercover officers on two other occasions, unaccompanied by his toddler, police said. The sales occurred between Aug. 4 and Oct. 19, police said.
Ploysy, of Andover Road near Schwab, was arrested Tuesday and charged with endangering the welfare of a child, possession with intent to deliver and related offenses. Magisterial District Judge Thomas Palla arraigned him Tuesday and set bail at $30,000. He faces a Oct. 29 preliminary hearing.
Police seized several baggies of marijuana, a scale, cash and empty baggies during the investigation.
Lower Salford Township Police, Lansdale Police, Upper Dublin Police, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Narcotics Enforcement Team and the Montgomery County District Attorney's Drug Task Force investigated.
