HARRISBURG, PA — Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General announced felony drug trafficking charges against three people following an investigation in Blair County that allegedly uncovered large quantities of methamphetamine, heroin, fentanyl, and crack cocaine.
Attorney General Dave Sunday said Lindsey Longenecker, 42, of Queen, Corey “Ghost” Hilario, 38, of Allentown, and Shawnta Cormon, 45, of Allentown, were arrested this week after coordinated traffic stops tied to an ongoing narcotics investigation in Altoona.
According to investigators, law enforcement observed two vehicles meet in the parking lot of a Burger King near Pleasant Valley Boulevard and Kettle Street before conducting separate traffic stops.
Authorities said a K-9 officer alerted to the odor of controlled substances inside an Audi sedan occupied by Hilario and driven by Cormon. Investigators said both individuals were transported to a Pennsylvania State Police barracks during the investigation.
According to investigators, a second traffic stop involving Longenecker’s Nissan Rogue also resulted in a K-9 alert for suspected narcotics.
Police said search warrants were later executed on both vehicles.
Investigators alleged the searches resulted in the seizure of five pounds of crystal methamphetamine, six grams of heroin and fentanyl, about 2.5 ounces of crack cocaine, $1,893 in cash, a digital scale, and drug-packaging materials.
Authorities estimated the methamphetamine had a street value of about $16,000, while the heroin and fentanyl were valued at about $3,000 and the crack cocaine at about $7,000.
According to investigators, bail was set at $400,000 for Hilario, $300,000 for Longenecker, and $250,000 for Cormon.
The investigation involved assistance from the Pennsylvania State Police, Tyrone Police Department, Altoona Police Department, Blair County District Attorney’s Office, Blair County Drug Task Force, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
All suspects, arrestees, and defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
