Police say they conducted surveillance on Mortimer and McNeil after an informant told them Mortimer was supplying cocaine to exotic dancers at a Groton strip club. Authorities say they searched the men’s vehicle and found about 5 grams (0.18 ounces) of cocaine and more than $7,000 in cash.
Police say both men denied selling cocaine. Mortimer’s lawyer said neither Mortimer nor McNeil are drug dealers.
