According to The Hour newspaper of Norwalk, Conn., police stopped 22-year-old Dwayne Harper after they spotted him wearing a hood and ski mask while investigating a shooting.
He consented to a search which turned up $330 in cash, stacked "the way a drug dealer would carry money", the paper reported. A search of the area where he was stopped also led officers to a black bag containing 15 bags of heroin.
Harper was taken to a holding facility, where police said he offered his confession.
"Hey, yo. I'm going to be a man about this. (Expletive), it's mine, all the money and the dope, it's mine. You caught me fair and square," he reportedly said.
He was later freed after posting $10,200 bond.
