Mountville man accused of selling crack cocaine and oxycodone busted in drug task force raid

LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. — A Mountville Borough man is facing multiple drug charges after investigators say he sold crack cocaine and oxycodone during a months-long undercover investigation.

Jaleel Yaseem Corley, 29, was arrested by the Lancaster County Drug Task Force and charged with possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, possession with intent to distribute oxycodone, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license.

Authorities said detectives began investigating Corley in late 2025. During the investigation, undercover officers and confidential informants allegedly purchased crack cocaine from him using pre-recorded funds.

On the morning of Feb. 6, the Drug Task Force, assisted by West Hempfield Township police, executed search warrants at Corley’s vehicle and his residence in the 100 block of Fridy Street.

During the searches, investigators recovered narcotics, drug paraphernalia and nearly $6,000 in cash, some of which matched the pre-recorded money used during undercover drug buys.

In total, police seized about 76 grams of cocaine valued at roughly $7,600. Authorities said approximately 29 grams had recently been converted into crack cocaine, while the rest was in powder form.

Detectives also recovered 71 oxycodone pills of various dosages during the operation.

Corley was arrested without incident and later admitted the drugs belonged to him, according to investigators.

He was arraigned on Feb. 6 before Judge Andrew LeFever, who set bail at $50,000 unsecured. Corley was released after posting bail.

All charges are accusations, and Corley is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
