A 27-year-old rural Crestline man who was arrested along with two others in a drug bust on May 2 was arraigned on a six-count indictment on Monday in Crawford County Common Pleas Court.
Judge Sean Leuthold raised the original bond set for Aaron Frazee from $250,000 to $500,000. Charges against Frazee include: felony 2 engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, felony 3 possession of drugs, two counts of felony 5 drug trafficking, and two counts of felony 5 drug possession. If convicted on all counts and ordered to serve maximum, consecutive sentences, Frazee could go to prison for as long as 15 years.

Aaron Frazee, 58-year-old William Frazee, and 25-year-old Alexis Kouns were taken into custody at the scene.
