Three people were arrested Tuesday night at a Warsaw residence after undercover police reportedly purchased cocaine from them as part of a month-long investigation.
Ricardo Deantes, 25; Geovanny Montes, 19; and Jasmanny Montes, 22, all of 1610 E. Market St., Warsaw, are each charged with dealing cocaine. All are being held in the Kosciusko County Jail on $20,000 bonds.
The drug offense is enhanced by the fact that the alleged transactions took place within 1,000 feet of school property. Both Sacred Heart and Lincoln schools, as well as a preschool, are within the proximity of where the drug sales allegedly occurred.
According to the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department, the investigation into this case continues and more arrests are expected. Warsaw Police Department assisted in making the arrests.
