Police in Altoona say Raemon Prunty, 21, and another Braddock
resident transported 5,000 packets of heroin into Altoona.

Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 confirmed Prunty is a Democrat running
for Braddock borough council.

The Mayor of Braddock shared the following statement on Friday
night:

“It's unfortunate to see anyone in such a situation. I'm not certain
of why Mr. Prunty would commit such crimes as we may not agree on
many things in politics we both are passionate about the Braddock
Community. I am very anti-drug and I know this is not an easy
situation for anyone. Prunty is very involved in the community and I
hope that justice will serve the Altoona Community well.”

She said Prunty is very involved in the community.

The Altoona Police Department released a mug shot of Prunty on
Friday. They arrested him and Sir-Jihad Zaire Valcin on Monday.

Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 reached out to Prunty on Friday.

Police said Valcin was driving a red Ford Escape while Prunty was in
the backseat. According to his criminal complaint, officers found
5,000 wax packets of heroin with the stamps ‘TOMB RAIDER’ in green
and ‘PURPLE RAIN’ in purple.

The complaint said there was $220 and a bag of marijuana in the
driver’s door.

An officer said he searched the back seat of his car after
transporting Prunty to jail and found a wax packet of heroin. Police
said the value of the drugs found in the car with Valcin and Prunty
is $100,000.

Prunty faces five criminal charges including delivery of a
controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance.

Police said they are looking for Wilkinsburg resident Rasul Abdullah
Aquil in connection with their heroin trafficking operation.
