SOMERSET COUNTY, Pa (WJAC) — Somerset County District Attorney Molly Metzgar says two individuals were taken into custody on Thursday following a "large drug bust" on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Authorities say police conducted a traffic stop on a Nissan Altima that was traveling westbound through Jefferson Township.
Police say troopers "observed evidence of criminal activity" and conducted a search of the vehicle.
Investigators say the search led to the seizure of a backpack containing over 160 bricks of suspected heroin.
“I commend Pennsylvania State Police on their excellent work.” said DA Metzgar.
Officials say Khaiir McKinnon, of Norristown, Pa, and Aisha Marshall-Johnson, of Philadelphia, have since been arraigned on felony drug possession charges.
They are being housed at the Somerset County Jail, on $250,000 bond.
