The 6 a.m. raid was conducted by the Tri-County Task Force, composed of eight area law-enforcement agencies. Hoover said five residences were searched, and additional arrests and charges are likely.
Davon Gaston Hines, 18, of Colonial Beach was charged with two counts of distributing imitation crack cocaine.
Candice Nicole Mills, 24, also of Colonial Beach, was charged with child abuse and neglect for allowing children to be present when drug dealing occurred, Hoover said.
Aaron Early Holtzclaw, 26, of King George and Arlene Malave, 46, of Hague were both charged with possession of crack with intent to distribute.
