Moscow bus driver made more than $10,000 a month selling heroin to local addicts at stops along his route, the Federal Drug Control Service said Monday.
Drug police arrested the driver, 39, on Jan. 14 after he finished his shift, an agency spokesman said. He has since been charged with dealing and faces up to three years in prison if convicted, the spokesman said.
The driver was selling around 200 grams of heroin -- worth more than 250,000 rubles ($10,200) -- a month to addicts at the bus stops, the spokesman said.
A medical examination revealed that the driver, who resisted arrest, had been driving under the influence of heroin that day, the spokesman said. The arresting officers found him in possession of 2 grams of heroin.
Citing the ongoing investigation, the spokesman declined to give the suspect's name or the bus route on which he worked. This information would be released at a later date, he said
