A narcotics investigation in Middletown led to the arrest of a 56-year-old man on cocaine trafficking and possession charges Thursday morning. Sheriff Richard K. Jones said the Butler County Undercover Regional Narcotics Task Force, known as B.U.R.N., along with the Middletown Police Department, executed a search warrant around 8:30 a.m. at a home in the 3700 block of Greenview Drive. During the search, investigators reportedly recovered more than 20 grams of a substance that field-tested positive for cocaine, along with approximately 22-hundred dollars in cash. Andre Snow of Middletown was arrested and booked into the Middletown City Jail on charges of trafficking in cocaine and possession of cocaine, both third-degree felonies. Sheriff Jones said drug dealers are “poisoning our communities and destroying lives,” adding that those involved in drug trafficking in Butler County can expect to end up in jail. The investigation remains ongoing, and additional charges could be filed.
