WASHINGTON TWP — A man and his girlfriend were arrested after state police vice officers seized a little more than an ounce of suspected crack cocaine and other contraband Thursday, authorities said.

Joshua L. Pisor, 32, and Abbi R. Cochran, 28, both of Washington Township, are in the Butler County Prison, each facing felony drug charges.

Police said the arrests followed an anonymous tip Tuesday that Pisor had been traveling to Mercer County to pick up marijuana and narcotics.

On the lookout for Pisor, who also was wanted on a bench warrant, officers with the vice unit noticed him driving a sport utility vehicle and tailed him to a store on Route 308.
