YORK, Pa. (WHTM) – A California sheriff’s deputy is one of three men who were arrested after authorities in York County said they made a major drug bust. 
 
 On Monday, county officials said they seized 247 pounds of marijuana, valued at around $2 million, along with $11,000 in cash during the arrest last week in West Manheim Township. 
 
 “I’ve been out here 28 years and this is the biggest I’ve seen in our area,” West Manhiem police Chief Tim Hippensteel said. 
 
 Police have charged Ryan Falsone, 27; Tyler Long, 31; and Christopher Heath, 37; all of California. Heath is a drug task force agent with the Yuba County Sheriff’s Department. 
 
 “One has to be both saddened and angered when you hear of something like this,” York County District Attorney Tom Kearney said. 
 
 Kearney said Heath had his badge and his service weapon on him at the time of his arrest. He added the bust was part of an ongoing investigation based on tips into law enforcement. 
 
 “Suffice it to say that this was not a routine traffic stop,” he said. “We didn’t stop this person because they had a bad turn signal and found all this. This was part of a coordinated effort.” 
 
 Kearney said detectives weren’t aware Heath was an officer before making the arrest, which happened in the 100 block of Frogtown Road. 
 
 According to the Yuba County Sheriffs Department, Heath was on vacation at the time of his arrest. 
 
 No one could say what the trio was doing in Pennsylvania, or if the drugs were destined for the Midstate. 
 
 Kearney said it’s possible all three men could face additional charges since it’s believed they brought the drugs from California. 
 
 “This is obviously a big operation,” he said. “We will work closely with our partners in the federal government in addressing it.” 
 
 All three men were out on bail Monday.

 Christopher Heath, 37, of Bangor, had his badge and service weapon when he was arrested last Tuesday, along with Ryan Falsone, 27, of Oroville, and Tyler Long, 31, also of Bangor. All three have been charged with delivery of marijuana, criminal conspiracy to deliver marijuana and possession with intent to deliver marijuana. 
 
 The three, who were arrested last Tuesday after a traffic stop, have all posted a respective $1 million bail. 
 
 "Suffice it to say it was not a routine traffic stop," said York County District Attorney Tom Kearney, speaking at a press conference in Penn Township, Hanover on Monday morning. 
 
 "We knew who we were going to stop and why," Kearney said. He said police had been working on "intelligence received." 
 
 Kearney, flanked by law enforcement agents from several agencies, said the arrest had been part of an ongoing coordinated effort by the York County Drug Task Force and surrounding police agencies. 
 
 The seized drug, laid out across four large tables, was seized in double wrapped packages and has a street retail value in excess of $2 million. 
 
 "This was very sophisticated operation that was ongoing," Kearney said. 
 
 Cross Country Marijuana Bust 
 
 The arrest was made in the early morning hours of Dec. 29 in the Hanover area with the assistance of West Manheim Township police. The three men were in the car. In addition to the drug, police seized $11,000 in cash, a gun, three duffle bags and a T-shirt emblazoned with "Triple Cross Pitbulls," which Kearney said has a connection to the drug operation. 
 
 The weapon - a Glock 40-caliber - is Heath's service weapon, Kearney said. Kearney said police did not know ahead of time that Heath was a law enforcement agent. He would not provide information as to what the men's intentions were or if any of it had been distributed, he said, adding that the information was part of the ongoing investigation. 
 
 The three men surrendered peacefully to police, Kearney said. He said that while no federal charges have been charged yet, they will likely face several as the drug was transported across states lines. 
 
 Kearney praised the work of law enforcement agents from across several agencies, saying the men and women of these police and law enforcement agencies "risked their lives every day doing a very, very dangerous job." 
 
 Also present at the press conference were: Chief Deputy District Attorney David Sunday, Capt. Adam Kosheba, Pennsylvania State Police, Chief Jim Laughlin, Penn Township Police Department, Chief Dan Stump, Springettsbury Township Police Department, Chief Chad Martin, Hanover Borough Police Department and Chief Tim Damon, York Area Regional Police Department. ||||| Image 1 of / 37 Caption Close

– A drug task force agent from California was arrested Dec. 29 in Pennsylvania while allegedly transporting nearly 250 pounds of marijuana, ABC 27 reports. According to the Patriot-News, authorities say a traffic stop in York County turned up $2 million worth of pot, $11,000 in cash, and sheriff's deputy Christopher Heath. Heath, who was on vacation from the Yuba County Sheriff's Department at the time, had his badge and gun on him, ABC reports. Heath—along with two other men who were also in the vehicle—has been charged with multiple drug-related offenses, including delivery of marijuana, according to the Patriot-News. Federal charges are also likely since the drugs were allegedly moved across state lines. All three men have since bailed out of jail.
