ROGERSVILLE — A Knoxville couple were charged with cocaine trafficking last week as the result of an alleged sale involving a confidential informant and an undercover officer. On Friday, Hawkins County Sheriff’s Office Detective Zachary England received a tip from a confidential informant (CI) that Brodrick Rakeem McAllister, 27, 2208 Keith Ave., Knoxville, was on his way to Rogersville to sell the CI crack cocaine. Prior to the alleged deal, the CI was searched, provided $300 in marked cash and then equipped with a transmitter/recorder. The CI was accompanied to the rendezvous with McAllister at the Rogersville Food City parking lot by an undercover agent of the Third Judicial District Drug Task Force. McAllister arrived in a blue and silver Infinity driven by Tomorrow Chemiere Harshaw, 28, 227 City View, Knoxville. The CI allegedly paid McAllister $300 for 1.3 grams of crack cocaine, after which police followed the Infinity as it made stops at two Rogersville residences before heading back toward Knoxville. At the request of the HCSO, the Greene County Sheriff’s Office stopped the Infinity in Bulls Gap at I-81’s exit 23 for an expired temporary tag. Upon being searched, McAllister was allegedly found to be in possession of $1,780 in cash, $300 of which was identified as the bills used by the CI to purchase crack. McAllister was charged with possession of crack with intent to deliver within 1,000 feet of a school zone, and Harshaw was charged with criminal responsibility for possession of crack with intent to deliver within 1,000 feet of a school zone. Both were held in the Hawkins County Jail pending their arraignment Wednesday.
