ST. GEORGE — Undercover investigations by the Washington County Drug Task Force led to the takedown of an alleged heroin dealer with an extensive criminal history Tuesday.
The task force conducted a narcotics distribution investigation into 40-year-old Jon Terin Vannelli, of St. George, according to a probable cause statement filed by the task force in support of the arrest.
During the course of the investigation, the task force conducted a controlled buy of heroin on four separate occasions in Washington County, the report states, through the use of a confidential informant who purchased heroin from Vannelli.
Vannelli was charged Wednesday with four first-degree felony counts of drug distribution, according to an information filed in 5th District Court by the Washington County Attorney’s Office.
