Manchester Police arrested a 33-year old Bloomfield man Thursday evening and charged him with a variety of drug offenses after a traffic stop revealed him to be in possession of cocaine.
Police said they received information that a black male by the name of Raymond Still would be arriving in the area of Chestnut and Forest streets in a blue Lexus around 6 p.m. to sell crack cocaine. Police stopped Still's vehicle when it arrived, and a search revealed the drugs.
