FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Police say that three illegal immigrants are in jail following an investigation into a cocaine trafficking operation.

Thirty-1-year-old Moises Rosalio-Ortega is charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine and transportation of cocaine into Virginia.

Fredericksburg and Stafford raided his south Stafford home on Saturday and met resistance from two men who were also there.

Police initiated the probe after they say Rosalio-Ortega was bringing large amounts of powder cocaine into the area from North Carolina.

The cocaine had a street value of $$100,000.

Thirty-6-year old Juan Carlos Morales is charged with obstruction of justice and assault and battery on a law enforcement officer. Nineteen-year old Gustavo Sandoval Rojas is charged with obstruction of justice.

All three are being held without bond in the Rappahannock Regional Jail.
