Cruz

A 10-month investigation resulted in the arrests of seven people Thursday in Steuben County on felony drug charges, and an eighth person was arrested Friday afternoon.

Angola police arrested David M. Long, 40, of Angola, on one count of dealing in marijuana. Bond was set at $10,000.

Steuben County sheriff's deputies are still seeking a ninth suspect and are asking for the public's help in finding him.

Rogelio Cruz, 30, of Angola, is 5-feet-5, weighs about 135 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes, the sheriff's department said in a statement on its Facebook page.

It said Cruz has homemade tattoos on his left and right arms.

Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's office at 260-665-3131 or their local law enforcement agency.

Cruz is facing a single count of dealing cocaine, which carries a $100,000 bond.

This week's arrests were part of an IMAGE Drug Task Force investigation.
