Arrests.
Two Bethlehem women are facing felony and misdemeanor charges after Quakertown police alleged one conspired to transport the other, her girlfriend, to a planned drug and prostitution meeting with an undercover officer last month.
Tyasia Ahmya Jam Malone, 25, of Bethlehem, was charged Jan. 28 with felony criminal use of a communication device (conspiracy), along with misdemeanor counts of tampering with evidence, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a small amount of marijuana, according to court documents.
Keyana Monah Blalock, 28, of Bethlehem, was charged Jan. 28 with two counts of felony criminal use of a communication device, along with misdemeanor counts of attempted tampering with evidence, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a small amount of marijuana, according to court documents.
According to the affidavit, Quakertown Borough Police, working in an undercover capacity, arranged Jan. 27 and 28, 2026 to purchase one-half ounce of methamphetamine and the services of a prostitute for one hour at a Quakertown location.
Text messages recovered later from a co-defendant’s phone allegedly confirmed arrangements for the meet, which was set for the afternoon of Jan. 28.
Police said a silver 2016 Mercedes-Benz C300 arrived in the area and that Malone was identified as the driver during a subsequent traffic stop.
The vehicle’s owner and passenger was identified as Keyana Blalock, of Bethlehem, who allegedly admitted setting up the meeting with the undercover officer.
During a search of the vehicle, officers allegedly located rolled dollar bills containing white powder residue, a smoking pipe with suspected marijuana residue and suspected marijuana. Malone allegedly admitted to being a cocaine user and to using one of the recovered bills to ingest cocaine.
After being taken into custody and placed in a holding cell, Malone is accused of placing suspected cocaine into the toilet. Officers later recovered a liquid substance containing white powder from the cell and conducted a field test that allegedly returned positive for cocaine.
Police later executed search warrants on the vehicle and a cellphone linked to the investigation, where investigators reported recovering deleted messages and call logs related to the arranged meeting, along with additional suspected cocaine found under vehicle seats, according to the complaint.
Investigators allege Malone knowingly transported Blalock from Bethlehem to Quakertown to facilitate the planned drug and prostitution meet.
Blalock was originally jailed on 10% of $200,000 cash bail, but, per bail order, according to court records, the bail was reduced to $1 cash bail, which was posted Friday.
Malone remains jailed on 10% of $200,000 cash bail, according to court records.
Both have preliminary hearings scheduled for March 5 before Magisterial District Judge Lisa Gaier.
All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using public court records.
