When members of the York County Drug Task Force descended on the home of Kalief Watkins on Thursday, they knew exactly who they were looking for.



It's the fourth time Watkins, 35, of 623 Lincoln St. in York City, has been arrested and charged with felony drug dealing in York County, according to court records.



"We've known him for years and arrested him numerous times over the years," said York City Police Detective First Class Andrew Shaffer. "It's been a longstanding relationship he's had with us."



Thursday's raid yielded $2,940 in cash, Watkins' Honda Civic and $300 worth of marijuana, according to Shaffer, who's also a member of the task force.
