A 20-year-old Wareham man has been arrested for allegedly distributing drugs, according to Wareham Police.

Police said Codey Murphy was arrested Oct. 19 at 3 a.m., after a brief struggle, at his home at 22 Tomahawk Drive. Murphy denied having any illegal drugs, but a search of his bedroom revealed about 16 grams of heroin, several corner-cut plastic baggies, two digital scales, and a small amount of cash.

Murphy was arrested at the scene, and was scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 19 at the Wareham District Court on charges of possession of a Class A substance with intent to distribute, police said.
