    Chances are they are going to look hard at him as being involved in dealing.

    Sorry, but one does not just happen to show up at a house with $5,000 cash fore grins and giggles - he was there to buy dope, and the cops know it. They may not have been able to show it at the time, but you can bet they will be looking at this guy for some future activity, or if they can tie him in to other activity. He is on the radar screen.

    word, but if he stops completely, he doesnt have anything else on him can they arrest him for simply being there and looking incredibly shady with that much money?

    It is not a crime to be shady ... but, if they can track down evidence (which includes statements) to say he WAS there to buy drugs, yes, he can be charged.

    They know why he was there, now the police will work to prove it.
