It just goes to show: when delivering heroin, you should pull the needle outta your arm before proceeding

PAXTON, Ill.—The big news for Gallatin County this week is the arrest of a native New Haven son, David Duffy, 33, who was found Sunday night in his 1998 Lexus ES300 with southern Illinois’ latest (alleged) heroin shipment.

David Duffy, apparently back in action

According to police in Paxton, Ill. (Ford Co., way up north), the Lexus was found parked on the west side of Paxton at the intersection of Illinois highway 9 and Industrial Park Drive at about 10:40 p.m. Sunday night. Law enforcement sources told Disclosure today that the vehicle was running, and it appeared that Duffy had stopped at the intersection like a law-abiding citizen, but then parked the car and did something a little less than law-abiding—like shooting up a little heroin.

Duffy was found in the driver’s seat, passed out, with a used syringe—and two bags of heroin, also ‘open and used’—on the console next to him. A drug dog ‘alerted’ to the presence of drugs in the vehicle (like having found the used stuff in the front seat wasn’t good enough) and a subsequent search uncovered 23 bags of ‘suspected’ heroin, weighing a total of 12.2 grams, in the trunk of the car.

As if it couldn’t get any worse, Duffy is currently on federal probation for a meth conviction. His charges of maufacture/delivery of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving under the influence of drugs, all Ford County counts, will probably ensure a quick trip back to the Federal Bureau of Prisons without much benefit of a fair hearing.

Information Disclosure has received since this incident indicates that Duffy’s parents, David Senior and Jackie, had been serving time in FBOP on drug-related charges; and that Jackie is now out. How this all plays into the southern Illinois drug trade, which seems to be falling apart as we speak, remains to be seen: questions such as who Duffy’s supplier was, where his ultimate destination was, who helps distribute in this area (if indeed that’s where he was heading), all remain unanswered, but we’re looking into it.

COULDN’T GET BETTER!!! THEY GOT ONE OF THEIR OWN! I WONDER WHO HE IS BEATING UP NOW. HE NEEDS TO BE BEHIND BARS TOO!
    SHOULDN’T BE HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHO IT IS.
    WHO IS MISSING? HE THINKS HE IS CLASSIFIED AS ‘PRETTY BOY’. DON’T DATE HIM!!!

    JEB I talked with everyone I know in Saline County and took a count. Nobody is missing or awol or anything like that. Somebody that does shit like you described does not deserve DIGNITY or respect.
    I don’t think any of them are pretty boys and since I dig chicks I won’t date any of them.
    I wish you would say what you mean before everyone thinks you’re not honest.
