The pair was charged with aggravated trafficking in scheduled drugs.

Danforth was also charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person while Witham was also charged with violation of conditions of release.

They were taken to the Somerset County Jail where bail was set at $50,000 cash for Danforth. Witham is being held without bail.
