Inquirer: Colorado Man Loses Pot, Car in Sting

An undercover operation by the Chester County High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force led to the seizure of 11 pounds of marijuana and a sports car, according to the report.

A Colorado man was arrested in East Whiteland earlier this month by a county drug task force, according to an article posted Wednesday on philly.com. District Attorney said Aaron J. Rosenbaum, 25, of Colorado Springs, should have stayed out of Chester County:

On Feb. 3, Rosenbaum handed 11 pounds of marijuana to an undercover officer in East Whiteland Township, leading to his apprehension, said Hogan.

Calling the defendant "a multi-state dealer, trafficking in large amounts of drugs, and making a substantial profit," Hogan said Rosenbaum was arrested in Missouri in 2011 for drug-related charges and sexual misconduct, charges that are still pending.
