NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Nashville Police officers arrested an accused drug dealer, who they say was hiding in the ceiling of a local business.

Officials say they found 24-year-old Marquel Peoples in the ceiling of a salon on Hamilton Crossing.

Peoples was arrested for selling heroin last October and was released with an ankle monitor, but police say he cut it off and did not show up for a court appearance Tuesday.
