Three Arrested in Multi-City Cocaine Busts

Police in three different U.S. cities have arrested suspects on felony drug charges in separate incidents involving cocaine trafficking and possession. In Valdosta, Georgia, Joseph Andre Young was detained after officers recovered over 4.5 grams of cocaine packaged for sale while serving outstanding traffic warrants. In Chicopee, Massachusetts, Antonio Colon Ortiz was arrested following a traffic stop for expired registration, with police discovering over 36 grams of cocaine, heroin packaging, digital scales, and cash. In Kalamazoo, Michigan, a 35-year-old man was taken into custody after the Kalamazoo Valley Enforcement Team and Crime Reduction Team seized about 3 ounces of cocaine, cash, and evidence of drug sales during a search warrant operation. All suspects face felony charges related to drug trafficking or possession with intent to distribute. Authorities in each city encourage anyone with information to contact local law enforcement or submit anonymous tips.
