WARREN, Ohio - Two people from Warren have pleaded not guilty to federal charges that they took part in a conspiracy to mail heroin from California to the Warren area.

Derrick Eggleston, 31, and Rachael Sherman, 38, along with Alexander and Zoany Zamudio of Victorville, California have been named in a seven-count federal indictment charging them with conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute heroin.

Investigators say the four were involved in sending more than 100 grams of heroin to Trumbull County sometime between September and November of 2015.

According to the indictment, Alexander Zamudio sent heroin through the U.S. Mail from California to Sherman’s home in Warren.

Authorities say Eggleston then picked up the heroin from Sherman's home and would pay Sherman.

Finally, Eggleston would mail the money from Warren to Alexander in California, according to investigators.

Zoany Zamudio later replaced Alexander Zamudio as Eggleston’s point of contact when Alexander was jailed, making him unable to send heroin or receive drug payments, according to the indictment.

Eggleston was booked into the Trumbull County Jail and then released on $20,000 bond.

Sherman is in the Mahoning County Jail awaiting a June 14 detention hearing before a federal magistrate.
