APD Arrest Pittsburgh Man For Allegedly Selling Meth In City

A 38-year-old Pittsburgh man is in custody after undercover narcotics investigators caught him attempting to sell methamphetamine in downtown Altoona, and that’s according to the Altoona Police Department. The investigation began yesterday when officers texted the suspect, identified as Artimus Sergio Nowlin, to inquire about purchasing drugs. Police said Nowlin responded and agreed over the phone to sell $80 worth of methamphetamine—referring to the substance as “ice cream.” He allegedly instructed the undercover officers to meet him at the downtown bus station. Following his apprehension, Nowlin admitted to the transaction, and was found to have been recently evicted from a local family shelter where he was temporarily residing. Nowlin faces multiple offenses, including possession with intent to deliver, and criminal use of a communications facility. He is currently being held in the Blair County Prison in lieu of $20,000 bail. (Above photo provided by Altoona Police.)

Scouring the internet for real estate investments after becoming a successful restauranteur in Florida, achieving the American dream when he worked his way up from being a dishwasher from Albania to ultimately having an Italian place of his own, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to buy a fully functional shopping center for just $1.4 million, though as his wife Irene notes, there wasn’t much wiggle room to back out when he made an impulsive bid, only to learn there were no other interested buyers.
