Man Waives Hearings on Drug Charges
A Bradford man accused of selling cocaine and fake LSD to an undercover state trooper has waived his preliminary hearings.
26-year-old Leland Baker is accused of selling a total of 6 grams of cocaine to the state trooper on two separate occasions in November and December of last year.
On December 20 of last year he sold a trooper a small, clear glass vile containing a clear liquid that was supposed to be liquid LSD, according to papers filed in District Judge Dom Cercone’s office.
The trooper asked Baker if he was trying to rip him off. Baker said he wasn’t and told the trooper he “tried this stuff the night before and that it was really good stuff.”
A test at a state police lab showed that the 4.1 grams of liquid in the vile did not contain a controlled substance.
Baker is free on unsecured bail.
Earlier this year, Baker was sentenced to six months in jail in Tompkins County, New York, for selling fake cocaine to someone, getting into a fight with the victim after he realized he’d been ripped off, and robbing him of $800 and his cell phone.
In that case, Baker tried to pass off a piece of a soap bar as cocaine.
