U.S. marshals are looking for a suspected heroin and cocaine dealer, and they are asking the public for information that can lead to his arrest. In 2009, 24-year-old Raymond Jenkins skipped a hearing to faces charges of dealing heroin, and in 2010, while still a fugitive, was indicted on charges of distribution of cocaine.
Jenkins, who is known to hang out in the Potomac Gardens area near Capitol Hill, has an arrest history dating back to 2005 that includes carrying a pistol without a license, robbery and assault on a police officer.
