A Democrat county commissioner in Lehigh, Pennsylvania, was reportedly arrested last week as part of a massive drug bust.

The multi-state drug bust was announced by Lehigh County District Attorney Gavin Holihan during a large-scale press conference last Friday, per ABC6:

Twenty-two people have been arrested so far in the investigation, including Lehigh County Commissioner Zachary Cole-Borghi.

He has since been released after posting $50,000 bail.

More than 2,000 pounds of marijuana, along with large quantities of cocaine and MDMA pills have been recovered as part of the investigation.

Cole-Borghi was apprehended at Bethlehem City Hall, where he served as an open records officer. He faced charges of “possession of marijuana and possession with the intent to deliver a pound of marijuana,” according to the Blaze.

At the press conference, DA Gavin Holihan revealed that the investigation had been underway for three years, extending its reach to Illinois, New York, and Wisconsin.

“This is a wide-ranging, as I said, multi-jurisdictional investigation, which included people yesterday who were arrested in the City of Chicago and the State of Wisconsin,” Holihan stated. “And there are warrants for people in multiple counties in Pennsylvania, as well as the state of New York, I believe the state of New Jersey, Philadelphia — so a wide-ranging conspiracy.”
