Maria Romero, 38, of Phoenix, Arizona and Marcos Ignacio, 21, of Sinaloa, Mexico have been charged with possession of drugs with an intent to distribute, investigators said in a media release Wednesday.
During the investigation, authorities seized over five pounds of fentanyl, and over two pounds each of black tar heroin and cocaine. A stolen handgun was also recovered during the investigation.
Romero is listed as an inmate in the Montgomery County Jail and was arrested on I-70 near Brookville Tuesday morning, online jail records indicate.
The location of Ignacio’s arrest was not released, but he is being held in a local jail, according to a sheriff’s office spokesperson.
The announcement of the two arrests comes a day after federal and local agencies were involved in a drug investigation in Dayton in the area of Kings Highway and England Avenue. However, officials said this investigation was not connected to law enforcement activity in that area Tuesday.
