Drug addicts have a hard time kicking the habit. Now it appears that drug dealers have the same problem, at least judging by an arrest made Tuesday afternoon at the Fayetteville Wal-Mart in the Fayette Pavilion, police said.

Agents for the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department Drug Task Force arrested Jason Lamont Young, 34, for selling cocaine just three hours after he had been released from the DeKalb County Jail, according to Capt. Mike Pruitt of the sheriff’s department. An undercover agent was “introduced” to Young, and the deal was initially for 1.5 ounces of crack cocaine, Pruitt said.

“We told him what we wanted and he came to us,” Pruitt said.

According to the Georgia Department of Corrections, Young had served a three-year prison sentence for possession of cocaine, a felony charge. The records indicate he was paroled in July but Pruitt said he was told that Young was recently furloughed from jail to attend his mother’s funeral last week but he showed up one day late to return, which netted him an additional five days in the DeKalb County lockup.

He was released from the DeKalb jail around noon Wednesday and about three hours later he was on his way to the Fayette County Jail.

It is not immediately known whether or not Young was on probation at the time, which could potentially cause him to finish any time remaining on his previous sentence.
