Elwood C. Williard said he knew nothing about why state troopers showed up at 2 a.m. on Nov. 15 to search his home in the 200 block of Pine Road.The 73-year-old South Middleton Township resident also said he and an elderly woman were the only ones there, police said. And when they found women’s garments that would not fit her, Williard claimed they were his.But when troopers found Kim Renee Potts, 39, halfway under the elderly woman’s bed and discovered four-and-a-half “bricks” of heroin packaged for sale at several locations around the house, plus a handgun, cash and drug records, Williard changed his story, police said.“Williard indicated that Miss Potts had a heroin addiction, and he was trying to help her with that addiction,” Sgt. Jonathan Mays said Wednesday during a preliminary hearing for Williard and Potts before Cumberland County Magisterial District Judge Susan Day. “I would argue that wasn’t any help at all.”Troopers headed to the home after the girlfriend of a 23-year-old man whose Nov. 14 death in the 800 block of York Road in South Middleton Township was deemed “suspicious” told investigators they had purchased heroin there earlier that day, police said. Williard and Potts are charged with possession with intent to deliver and conspiracy, both felonies, and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. The identity of the man who died has not been released, but police said additional charges — probably involuntary manslaughter — are pending the results of a toxicology report.Potts and Williard did not testify.Police said, however, that both said they had dealt heroin out of the house, and Potts said she hid because she knew there were warrants for her arrest after she failed to appear for a DUI sentence in York County.“Kim ran the operation,” said Mays, explaining that investigation showed that when Potts left every month to go to Myerstown, she would tell Williard who was coming by and he would conduct the exchange of drugs for cash in her absence.Mays also said Williard took possession of the bricks, which consisted of five bundles with 10 packages of heroin in each, because Potts “was getting into it.”Mays said the two weren’t arrested that night, because police wanted to try to use them to explore further along the heroin chain. However, he said, Potts was taken into custody several days later when it became apparent that she was not following instructions to take care of her arrest warrants. Williard was arrested on Dec. 23 after he also failed to comply with police directions.Day ruled that all charges against the two be held to court, at which point both attorneys requested a reduction in bail.“He’s not going anywhere,” said Williard’s attorney, Greg Abeln.When Brewbaker asked Williard about how long he has been living in Cumberland County, he replied he has been in his current home since May 1, 2008, and before that had traveled the country in a recreational vehicle, marketing a health product. However, he said, he has 12 children, 40 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren who live in the area.“I spoke with the oldest son yesterday,” Abeln said. “They’re all concerned.”After hearing brief argument from both sides, Brewbaker kept bail at $100,000 for both defendants.
