Police: Pa. man admitted dropped heroin was his

[August 23, 2010]  KIMBERTON, Pa. (AP) -- A southeastern Pennsylvania man faces drug charges after police said he admitted the heroin discovered on the floor of a bank belonged to him. East Pikeland Township police said 25-year-old Justin Carbone, of Phoenixville, accidentally dropped the drugs inside a Kimberton credit union earlier this week.

Police used the check Carbone cashed to track him down shortly after bank personnel discovered the drugs. When an officer pulled up to Carbone and asked him if he'd lost anything in the bank, police said he replied "two bags of heroin."

Carbone was released Monday on $10,000 unsecured bail and was due in court again next month.

A phone listing for Carbone could not be found.
