Pennsylvania county commissioner among 22 arrested in ‘massive’ drug investigation

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (WHTM) — A Pennsylvania county commissioner is facing charges as part of what the district attorney’s office called a “massive drug investigation” this week.

Lehigh County District Attorney Gavin Holihan announced the arrest of Lehigh County Commissioner Zachary Cole-Borghi during a press conference Friday.

Holihan said Cole-Borghi was arrested at Bethlehem City Hall and has posted bail.

His arrest, the district attorney said, was one of many made this week in a multi-year investigation.

“There have been 22 individuals who have been arrested as part of this investigation and we anticipate more arrests as the investigation proceeds,” Holihan said. The multi-jurisdictional effort was led by the Lehigh County Drug Task Force, he said.

Arrests, he said, were made in Lehigh County, Northampton County, Montgomery County, Philadelphia County, as well as New York City, Chicago, and the State of Wisconsin.
