ROSS TWP. — Police here arrested three men and seized drugs, money and other assets while executing two search warrants Thursday, Oct. 29, as part of an ongoing investigation.

The drug raids were at homes in the 2200 and 2300 blocks of Cardinal Avenue and were the result of information provided by other residents, said Ross Twp. Police Chief Carl Worley.

Arrested were Jonathan Gadd, 23, his roommate Brandon Hinkle, 26, and Brian Bramel, 32. All are charged with felony drug trafficking, drug abuse, possession of drug paraphernalia and permitting drug abuse, Worley said.

Seized were marijuana and prescription medications — oxycontin and percocet — money and a Chevrolet Blazer that was allegedly used to transport the drugs, Worley said. The drugs seized were not enough to elevate the trafficking charge to a higher felony, he said.

Worley said he expects that more arrests will be made in the investigation.
