Thomas L. Tillman was charged with felony and misdemeanor drug possession following a drug raid at a home located near the Butler police station.

Butler police didn't have trouble sniffing out suspected drug activity at a home that was raided earlier this month.

The home is just a stone's throw away from the city police station.

“I probably pass it 50 times a day,” Butler police Detective Lt. John Johnson, a senior member of the Butler County Drug Task Force, testified at a preliminary hearing Monday morning.

District Judge William Fullerton following Johnson's testimony ordered a Philadelphia man and two Butler women held for trial on charges stemming from the May 4 raid at the home in the 200 block of North Washington Street.

More than 200 bags of suspected heroin and nearly two dozen bags of suspected crack cocaine were seized during the joint operation by county narcotics officers and city police.

Charged with felony and misdemeanor drug possession are Thomas L. Tillman, 29; Jennifer E. Thomas, 27; and Mary P. Boring, 28.
