Local narcotic agents seized nearly $150,000 of drugs Wednesday, according to WINA.
The Jefferson Area Drug Enforcement Task Force took three alleged dealers into custody during the bust.
According to WINA, police said the ring operated out of motel rooms and had other operatives in the area. The dealers arrested have ties to Jamaica. One arrested was from Connecticut; two were from New York.
All were charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribution, according to the Daily Progress. Additionally, one suspect was charged with possession of a fireman while in the possession of cocaine.
The bust was a result of a year-long investigation. Seventy thousand dollars was also seized during the police action.
Police, who fought with two of the suspects, said they expect to make more arrests in the case.
