Three men are behind bars...in two separate drug raids in Wood County.

55-year-old Charles Bowman of Buckhannon, and 41-year-old William Baugh of Weston were stopped on Route 50 east of Parkersburg Thursday.

Officials found over 100 hydrocodone pills and 3 quarters of a pound of compressed marijuana in the suspects' vehicle.

"We're sitting at the crossroads of 50 and I-77," Sheriff Ken Merritt says, "and we are doing interdiction on the highways, and this will continue."

Both Bowman and Baugh were arrested on charges of possession of marijuana with the intent to deliver, possession of hydrocodone with the intent to deliver.. and conspiracy

Meanwhile, Parkersburg city police say the area's narcotics task force arrested a Columbus man Thursday on drug charges.

Quentin DeVaughn Davis is charged with delivery and intent to deliver, and is being held on $250,000 bond.

Chief Gerald Board says 20 grams of crack cocaine and a large amount of money was seized in the raid.

"Other arrests are pending," Chief Board says. "It's an ongoing investigation; it's been going on for for quite some time. We do expect more arrests out of it."

Davis was arrested at a Beverly Street residence. He could eventually face federal drug charges.
