Alleged family affair

Cranberry Township police allege drugs were being sold out of this home in Forest Park Village.
Man, wife charged in same drug probe as their daughter, teen son

CRANBERRY TWP — A suspected marijuana-dealing operation at a mobile home was an alleged family affair, authorities said.

Nearly 2½ pounds of combined marijuana and THC wax were seized earlier this month from Donald and Amy E. Stevens' home at Forest Park Village off Powell Road, according to state narcotics investigators.

Also confiscated were packaging materials, other contraband and more than $10,000 in currency.

Most of the marijuana, investigators said, was found in the bedroom of the couple's sons, ages 17 and 13.

The couple conspired with and allowed the older boy to sell drugs from the home, according to the Office of the Attorney General's Bureau of Narcotics.

Donald Stevens was arrested Tuesday on felony drug trafficking and child endangerment charges. His wife was arrested Wednesday on similar charges.

The Stevens' daughter, Mersadies E. Stevens, 22, and their 17-year-old son, who lives with their parents, were previously charged with drug trafficking and possession in connection with the same investigation.

District Judge Sue Haggerty arraigned the parents on Wednesday.
