The DA’s office said the drug deal was worth $4,600.
Police said Pegues was the target of Monday’s bust, having sold heroin to undercover officers last month inside the Kmart and Walmart in North Versailles. The drug deals were worth a total of $1,700, authorities said.
Officials said the brothers’ arrests were the result of a three-month-long investigation, and police said they hope their arrests lead to higher-level drug dealers.
The brothers face numerous charges.
Authorities said the mother of the 6-year-old boy came and got him after the men were arrested.
