A Butler police officer recounted looking into an open door at a city home last week and noticing occupants “tossing” baggies of what appeared to be drugs onto a table.

Bizub's observations helped lead to a search warrant at the Elm Court home, which eventually led to the discovery of suspected crack cocaine, heroin, prescription pills, marijuana and about $8,500 in cash, and the arrest of four men.

District Judge Wayne Seibel ordered two of the defendants — Brandon D. McCaskill, 23, of Duquesne; and Isaiah Harden, 21, of McKeesport — held for trial on felony and misdemeanor drug possession and conspiracy charges.

Earlier that morning, Ross M. Cammisa, 35, the tenant at the house, waived his preliminary hearing on similar charges.

The hearing for the remaining defendant, Guy D. Wallar Jr., 20, of Pittsburgh, was continued. He, too, faces similar charges as the other defendants.

McCaskill, Cammisa and Wallar remain in the Butler County Prison on $100,000 bail each. Harden is jailed on $50,000 bail.
