FIRST REPORT: Men arrested after alleged drug deal in parking lot
Today, a grand jury returned two counts each of aggravated trafficking in drugs against Torres-Davila and Sanchez.
Both men remain housed in the Butler County Jail in lieu of $200,000 bond. They are scheduled to be arraigned May 4 by Butler County Common Pleas Judge Keith Spaeth.
Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said the men are in the country illegally.

“That wall can’t go up fast enough,” Jones said when the men were arrested.
“This is Mexican Cartel money with a street value of about $36,000. So, instead of going through the legal process and obtaining work here like the American citizen does, they crossed the border and brought drugs with them, drugs that kill people,” he said.
Members of the Butler County Undercover Regional Narcotics Taskforce (B.U.R.N.) also seized a 2008 Dodge truck and $1,000 during the arrest.
