Washington County Drug Task Force seized 20 bricks of heroin and arrested three people in a Washington apartment Wednesday.

Washington County District Attorney Eugene A. Vittone said a heroin-trafficking investigation led drug task force members, assisted by county police and members of the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, to 175 Brookside Ave., Apt. 1.

There, authorities found the equivalent of 1,200 stamp bags of heroin, a stolen 9MM semiautomatic pistol, ammunition, $2,000 and drug paraphernalia.

Arrested on outstanding warrants were Dontaey L. Clites Jr., 25, of Pittsburgh, Lechiqua Tonae Zharee King, 22, of Donora, and Jacob Kronemer, 42, of W. Wheeling St., Washington.

They were lodged on detainers in the Washington County jail.

Vittone said additional charges will be filed against the three by the Drug Task Force at a later date.
