Washington County raid yields 50 bricks of heroin and fentanyl

Drug trafficking investigators raided a Washington County residence Friday and seized three loaded guns and 50 bricks of suspected heroin and fentanyl, District Attorney Eugene Vittone said.

Two people who live at the home on Houston's North Main Street — Vashaun Lasalle Wright and Alyssa Ashley Adkins, both 28 — are accused of distributing heroin and fentanyl in Canonsburg and the surrounding area.

The District Attorney's Drug Task Force executed a search warrant at the home Friday morning with help from the state police's vice unit, Washington Regional SWAT, Chartiers Township Fire Department, Washington City Police and its K-9 unit and police from Chartiers and South Strabane.

Vittone said authorities found 2,500 stamp bags of suspected heroin and fentanyl, additional packaging materials for distributing the substances, three loaded handguns and $25,000 in cash. One of the guns had been reported stolen, Vittone said.

Wright and Adkins were arraigned on drug trafficking and firearms charges before District Judge David Mark, who set their bail at $100,000 each. Wright and Adkins were being held at the Washington County Correctional Facility.
