Christian D. Keith, 19, Cameron A. Keith, 21, Aaron A. Baldasaro, 21, Latrelle D. Burton, 22, and Maurice L. Drayton, JR, 22, were all charged with possession of heroin with intent to distribute and conspiracy to violate the Controlled Substances Act, Police Chief Russell Jenkins said in a statement.
