BALTIMORE (AP) — Two men have pleaded guilty in connection with a drug operation that brought heroin in bulk from New York to Maryland.

Prosecutors say Jeffrey Anderson of Upper Marlboro, Maryland and Reginald Jones of New York City worked with another man to bring large quantities of heroin from sources in New York to Maryland for sale and distribution.

Prosecutors say the 35-year-old Anderson would use stash locations to store and cut the heroin, including a storage unit. They say he would dilute the heroin and sell it in bulk to several Maryland-based dealers, who in turn sold to other dealers and end users.

Anderson and the 26-year-old Jones pleaded guilty to heroin distribution and possession charges in federal court in Baltimore this week.

They’ll be sentenced in January.
