Cooperation between two sheriff departments has landed two suspected drug dealers in jail and the seizure of more than 5-1/2 pounds of cocaine.

Gavino Mendoza and Martina Uribe, both of Rocky Mount, were charged after a year long investigation.

Nash County deputies say on Tuesday they seized $110,000 in cash and more than 4 pounds of coke at Mendoza's home. Deputies say that brought the total amount of cocaine seized during the operation to more than 5-1/2 pounds.

Mendoza is charged with six counts of trafficking cocaine along with other charges. Uribe is charged with manufacturing marijuana and possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine.

Nash County says deputies from Beaufort County provided them with a $25,000 "flash roll" to help make an important drug deal go through in the case.

Deputies say a conservative value of the cocaine seized is $225,000.

Mendoza is held under a $2,000,000 bond, while Uribe is under a $1,000,000 bond.
