A counselor at the Bucks County facility that housed an autistic man who died after being left in a hot van was arrested on drug charges August 6.
Bristol Township police said Uron Brinson, 34, of Trenton, sold $5,000 worth of cocaine in the parking lot of Woods Services to a police informant.
Police said Brinson also sold $1,120 in cocaine on July 26 in the parking lot of the special-needs organization in Bucks County.
The 12-year employee at Woods Services is being held on $200,000 cash bail. It couldn't immediately be determined if he had an attorney.
Bryan Nevins (pictured), 20, a Woods Services resident with autism, died July 24 inside a van on a 97-degree day.
Counselor Stacey Strauss, 40, of Northeast Philadelphia, was charged this week with involuntary manslaughter and neglect for failing to remove Nevins from the van after an outing to Sesame Place on that day. State officials on August 5 shut down a residence building and banned new admissions at the facility while the investigation into Nevin's death continues.
