WARREN -- A Warren man was arrested by federal marshals Monday after he was charged in an eight-count indictment related to drug trafficking.
Michael Crain, 46, of 2954 Ridge Ave. SE, was arraigned Tuesday on two counts of trafficking in a fentanyl-related compound, trafficking in cocaine, possession of a fentanyl-related compound, three counts of possession of cocaine / crack, and having weapons under restriction.
The case deals with a Dec. 3 investigation by the Trumbull County Sheriff's Office task force, records show.
Bond was set at $7,500 and Crain will appear Thursday before Judge Ronald J. Rice for a pre-trial hearing.
Trumbull County jail records show Crain was taken into custody about 11:30 a.m. Monday and he remained there as of Tuesday afternoon.
Also arrested Monday was Natalie G. Ritter, 47, of Van Wye Street SE, Warren. Jail records show she was arrested on a secret indictment for one count of trafficking in a fentanyl-related compound. Ritter was released on a personal recognizance bond Wednesday by Common Pleas Judge W. Wyatt McKay, who scheduled a Feb. 3 pre-trial hearing.
Ritter's arrest was linked to a Dec. 6 drug investigation conducted by the sheriff's office.
