In one suburb of Philadelphia, LeBron James became street slang for a bag of heroin.

Police in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania recently found the drugs when a 19-year-old suspect sold a bag to an undercover cop. The bag had an image of the Akron native and reigning NBA MVP.

When police moved in to make the arrest, they found nearly 150 packets of heroin, all with James's image on the packaging.

The suspect is in jail, held on $250,000 bond.

The Police Superintendent in Upper Darby does not think the NBA superstar would approve of his image being used to sell drugs.
