According to the report, the officer handed Woodlyn $1,000 and asked Woodlyn for the dope and Woodlyn handed over one rack of heroin wrapped in a newspaper.

Officers later counted 140 blue, wax paper bags containing brown powder from the wrapped newspaper, which, according to the report, tested positive as heroin.
