LEWIS — The Essex County Drug Task Force has made two more arrests as part of the ongoing roundup of alleged drug sellers in the county.

Cody D. Douglas, 23, of Lewis was charged later Tuesday with three counts each of felony third-degree sale of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, cocaine.

He was arraigned before Essex County Judge Richard Meyer and send to the County Jail when he didn’t pay $10,000 cash bail or bail bond.

Phillip B. Hatch, 34, of Ticonderoga was charged with two counts each of felony fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, hydrocodone.

He was sent to the County Jail pending arraignment.

The drug roundup started last Friday.

The warrants were issued as a result of ongoing narcotics investigations conducted in and around Essex County, in conjunction with the Essex County District Attorney’s Office.
