A Butler Township family is asking a judge to return more than $80,000 that authorities seized during a drug raid of the family's house last year, but prosecutors argue the money was made through drug activity and should be seized. On Sept. 13, 2019, county narcotics officers raided a house on East Muntz Avenue where three people lived, and allegedly found 494 THC cartridges, a little more than one pound of marijuana, 10 vials of THC wax and three plastic baggies of hallucinogenic mushrooms. Additionally, MDMA, also known as ecstasy or molly, and LSD were allegedly found. Authorities said they also turned up $87,712 and prosecutors allege this money was made through illegal means by the three people who lived there. The home's residents — Nicanor Andrada, 41; his wife, Yolanda C. Andrada, 40; and her son, Gavin J. Hunter, 22 — were hit with felony drug charges.
