recovered $300,000 worth of cocaine on Interstate 70 eastbound

Bolden and Jones were incarcerated at the Preble County Jail. If
Bolden is convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison, and up
to a $20,000 fine. If Jones is convicted he could face up to 10 years
in prison, and up to a $20,000 fine for the first-degree felony, and
an additional 18 months and $5,000 fine for the fourth-degree
