Most of the service members are stationed overseas, she said.

Drug sales alleged

Based on alleged sales of drugs made to confidential informants, Jennifer Andrews and Carlton Miller were charged with drug trafficking. A small amount of marijuana and illegal prescription pills were found at the home during the raid.

At nearby 142 Milner St., Ryan Boyko was charged with drug trafficking. Boyko is alleged to have sold cocaine and marijuana from the home. Marijuana and drug paraphernalia were found during that search.

At the Alliance Drive Thru, where Bennett was working, police discovered packaged cocaine next to the cash register. A small amount of marijuana, belonging to another employee, also was spotted.
