Nicholas Decampli

Two Zelienople men are facing drug distribution charges after police say they were found with thousands of dollars in cash, heroin and marijuana in their home.

Domenick W. Decampli, 67, and Nicholas W. Decampli, 34, were each charged with two felony counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and criminal use of a communications facility, as well as two misdemeanor counts each of possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. Nicholas Decampli was also charged with an additional felony possession with intent count.

The charges stem from a search warrant executed on Nov. 14 at the Decampli home in the 400 block of W. New Castle St., Zelienople, following an ongoing investigation by the state Office of the Attorney General Bureau of Narcotics Investigations.

Both Domenick and Nicholas Decampli were at the home when police served the warrant.

Inside Nicholas Decampli's bedroom $22,100 in cash was found under the bed, $1,536 in cash on a shelf, a glass jar of marijuana next to the money, a notebook with a drug distribution business plan and outstanding debts next to the cash beneath the bed and a shoebox containing about 50 stamp bags of heroin and empty heroin bags and paraphernalia on the bedroom floor, according to a police affidavit.

The document states that eight individually wrapped plastic bags of marijuana and an electronic scale were found in a dresser drawer of Domenick Decampli's bedroom.

Five cell phones and about 12 pounds of marijuana were also found in a storage tote and cooler in the garage, the document states.

Police said the items indicated both were conspiring to distribute marijuana, heroin and paraphernalia, according to the document.

Both were arraigned on Thursday by District Judge Wayne Seibel, with Nicholas Decampli being held in the Butler County Prison on $100,000 cash bail, and Domenick Decampli's bail set at $15,000 unsecured.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled Tuesday for both.
