Kyle J. Taylor, 27, of Bloomington, was arrested Tuesday morning for dealing cocaine or narcotics and conspiracy to deal heroin, both of which are felonies. Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Pam Gladish said BPD supervised the investigation Jan. 26 when Taylor intentionally delivered heroin to an informant.
The informant advised BPD that there was a possibility Taylor would sell heroin, Gladish said. BPD detectives set up the transaction, where the informant purchased what is believed to be heroin — a brown powdery substance inside a folded piece of paper.
The initial field test came back positive, but the BPD is still waiting for the results from the official state lab test, Gladish said. A short time later, officers were able to locate Taylor in a business on the City’s west side, where he was arrested. When officers interviewed him, he denied possessing heroin. Taylor was subsequently transported to the Monroe County Jail. A second controlled exchange was arranged but never occurred due to Taylor’s arrest.
