Jefferson Area Drug Enforcement Task Force (JADE) officers have arrested two men and confiscated a lot of drugs and a lot of cash. Last night at around 7pm on the 300 block of 10th Street NW, officers arrested Murray Lee Hill, a 51-year-old Charlottesville man, along with 28-year-old Maurice Edgehill of New York City. Both had outstanding charges of distribution of cocaine and drug conspiracy. Investigators seized $33,680 cash along with a .380 caliber pistol and 200 grams of crack cocaine, which police say has a street value of $40,000. Police also say further charges and arrests are pending.
