Authorities Arrest Two Men in Cocaine Trafficking Operations Across Maryland, Pennsylvania

Authorities in Maryland and Pennsylvania arrested two men, Alishawaine Monk and Ronald Dugger, after a months-long investigation into a regional drug trafficking operation. The coordinated effort between Maryland State Police and Pennsylvania State Police led to the execution of search warrants at multiple locations, resulting in the seizure of significant quantities of illegal drugs and ten firearms, including a stolen Bushmaster AR15 rifle. Both suspects face charges including possession with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm during the commission of a drug crime, and are being held without bail as the investigation continues to probe the extent of their activities. These arrests mark a major step in disrupting a multi-state drug trafficking network.
