    An Allentown police officer is recovering after getting hurt during a drug bust.

    Police say it happened around 6 p.m. Wednesday near North Boyer and Russell streets.

    Police say that the altercation led to the officer suffering a minor injury.

    Gotay is facing aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and possession charges.

    Police say the other suspect involved, 50-year-old Pablo Garcia, is charged with simple possession.
