A Mt. Oliver man is facing drug charges after a traffic stop on the South Side Thursday evening.
The Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office says 45-year-old Michael Kagan was pulled over just before 9 p.m. when suspicious activity was observed near the black SUV Kagan was in at the BP on East Carson Street.
Officers were unable to identify the license plate due to a tinted covering.
Kagan was stopped at the First National Bank. He told officers his license was suspended and deputies saw brass knuckles in the center console.
A search found a fabric bag on Kagan with a large amount of cash, 50 stamp bags of suspected heroin and two bags of crack cocaine.
A police scanner and baton style weapon were also found inside the vehicle.
Kagan was taken to Allegheny County Jail on five drug charges and is also faces two felony counts of possession with the intent to deliver.
