As police approached him, he tried to run into an apartment in the 38 Row Hall Manor. When asked by police to stop, Adair threw an item he was holding to the ground. Police then detained him while they investigated the area.
Upon investigation, police determined that Adair had thrown crack cocaine on the ground as he attempted to enter the house. Adair was then arrested and was charged with possession of crack cocaine with the intent to deliver and with tampering with physical evidence. He has been remanded to Dauphin County Prison in lieu of posting bail.
