Officers were watching the intersection of Main and King Streets when they observed a male, later identified as Markel Pagan, eighteen-years-old of Illinois St, walking west on King St. Officers observed a male approach Pagan. 

According to Worcester police, after a brief conversation between the two males, officers observed Pagan receive paper currency and remove a small item from a plastic bag. Pagan gave the small item to the male, and the male walked away, according to Worcester police.
