Two Easton residents will be charged with various illegal drug offenses after the Easton Police Department Vice/Narcotics Unit executed a narcotics search warrant at their home at 1051 Northampton St., Apt. 1, around 6:10 a.m. this morning, police report.
Nicholas Maietta was arrested and will be charged with possession with intent to deliver heroin, three counts of possession and possession with intent to deliver oxycodone related to past sales to the EPD Vice Unit, and with possession of drug paraphernalia. He is expected to be arraigned later today, police said.
Brittany Sember, who was released, will be charged with possession of drug paraphernalia--a digital scale and pipes--via a summons, authorities said.
While searching the home, detectives say they found heroin with an estimated value of $2400, a small amount of marijuana and prescription medicine that was not prescribed to the occupants.
Heroin was in close proximity to a two-year-old child that also lives at the dwelling, they added.
Police noted that a pitbull was also in the home at the time of the raid. No one was injured during the search, they reported.
Northampton County Children and Youth Services have been notified of the situation involving the child, police also reported.
