TWO DRUG DEALERS WERE ARRESTED IN TWO SEPARATE STING OPERATIONS IN A PUBLIC HOUSING PROJECT IN MURDOCK.  CHARLOTTE COUNTY NARCOTICS DETECTIVES WERE CONDUCTING AN UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION REGARDING SALES AND DELIVERY OF CRACK COCAINE IN THE MURDOCK CIRCLE APARTMENT COMPLEX LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHEN THEY CONTACTED 20 YEAR OLD DONOVAN MURDOCK TO BUY FORTY DOLLARS WORTH OF CRACK.  MURDOCK AGREED TO SELL THE DRUGS BUT SAID HE WOULD CONTACT HIS GIRL AND THEY WOULD MEET IN THE COMPLEX.  THE UNDERCOVER COP MET WITH 19 YEAR OLD HAYLEY WOLBER AND THE EXCHANGE WAS MADE.  SHE WAS THEN ARRESTED.  A FEW MINUTES LATER, MURDOCK WAS CONTACTED AGAIN AND MET THE UNDERCOVER COP IN THE REAR PARKING LOT OF THE COMPLEX.  MURDOCK SOLD THE CRACK AND WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.  BOTH WERE BOOKED ON MULTIPLE DRUG CHARGES AND ARE BEING HELD ON BOND IN THE CHARLOTTE COUNTY JAIL.
