Man arrested after drug raid at Washington home

WASHINGTON, Pa. — Police in Washington County have made an arrest in a long-running drug investigation.

Shaquore Marquis Yarbrough, 24, was arrested and charged with several felonies after police executed a search warrant Monday at a home on Third Street in the city of Washington.

Yarbough was out on bond and awaiting trial on felony drug delivery charges from last year.

Drug task force agents on Monday afternoon kicked in the door at the home after they'd been watching for weeks.

Sources told Channel 11 Yarbough ran out his back door and jumped over his second-story balcony trying to escape, but agents were waiting for him.

Channel 11 met up with Washington County District Attorney Gene Vittone at the county courthouse. He said his office is working on getting local dealers charged federally so they would face a mandatory minimum sentence, if convicted.

Yarbourgh was taken to the Washington County jail and is being held on $100,000 bond.
