Ramirez, also 19, were each charged with possession with the intent to deliver (methamphetamine), possession of a controlled substance) (methamphetamine), criminal conspiracy possession with the intent to deliver, and criminal conspiracy possession of a controlled substance.

They were arraigned by the on-call District Judge Christina M. Hale Frackville. Both Rivera-Santiago and Ramirez were jailed under $75,000 each.
