On Aug. 22, Sartler agreed to sell a half ounce of high grade marijuana to a police informant in the parking lot of a business in the W15400 block of Sliver Spring Drive. The informant conducted the deal with a man parked inside the car, with Sartler sitting in the back seat.
On Oct. 14, the informant made arrangements to purchase $180 from Sartler and another man in the parking lot of a business near West Capitol Drive and Pilgrim Road. The deal took place while the man with Sartler went inside the business.

The informant again set up a deal with Sartler on Dec. 7, which was also completed in the parking lot of a Falls business.
On Jan. 20, police interviewed Sartler who admitted to selling the drugs with a friend, saying he’s expecting a child and needed to supplement his income because he has a low paying job.
