Butler drug raid results in three arrests
A search warrant raid of a downtown Butler apartment Monday night turned up suspected crack cocaine, several hundreds of dollars, more than a half dozen cell phones and other suspected drug contraband, authorities said.
Butler County Drug Task Force officers arrested the tenants — Corey A. Dooley, 37, and his girlfriend, Teri L. Mulneix, 39 — and Shakor D. Wilder, 23, of Pittsburgh.
All three defendants are being held in the Butler County Prison on $100,000 bail each.
The raid, said county Detective Tim Fennell, who heads the task force, followed a three-week investigation into suspected drug dealing at the apartment on the 300 block of South Main Street.
Task force officers and Butler police executed the warrant about 9:15 p.m. and found the defendants there along with four others.
Seized from the home, Fennell said, was a “small amount” of crack, a digital scale, drug-packaging materials and $447 in currency.
District Judge Lewis Stoughton arraigned Wilder, Dooley and Mulneix on felony charges of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and conspiracy.
