Three people are facing charges after police said they found 20 bricks of heroin inside of a Washington County apartment.
Dontaey L. Clites Jr, 25, of Pittsburgh; Lechiqua Tonae Zharee King, 22, of Donora; and Jacob Kronemer, 42, of West Wheeling Street in Washington, were arrested and taken to the Washington County Correctional Facility.
Washington County District Attorney Eugene A. Vittone said the arrests were the result of an ongoing investigation into heroin trafficking. The suspects were arrested on outstanding warrants at 175 Brookside Ave, Apt. #1, in Washington.
Police said the drugs are the equivalent of 1,200 stamp bags of heroin. Police also found a stolen 9 mm semiautomatic pistol, additional ammunition, $2,000 in cash and drug paraphernalia.
Officials said additional charges will be filed by the Washington County District Attorney's Drug Task Force detectives at a later date as a result of the search.
