Police said residents of the drug den were recently evicted after months of dealing heroin and cocaine. "No trespassing" signs were posted on the property. When officers encountered Bennett and Mobley, Mobley lied about his name but he was eventually identified, police said. Mobley was charged with three counts of drug possession with intent to distribute, driving with a revoked license and trespassing. Bennett was charged with conspiracy to violate drug laws.
