Pennsylvania State Police say a Berks County drug case has grown out of a longer trafficking investigation tied to more than one community. The report points to a serious operation, but the clearest details are still better understood through the searches and court filings.
The case names Keith Culbert, 45, and Eddie Feliciano, 42, as the two defendants charged after police activity in Berks County. For now, the wider picture is a familiar one in Pennsylvania: drugs, weapons, money, and a multi-county investigation.
Search Warrants in Reading and Shillington
Agents executed search warrants on June 4 at two Berks County locations, according to Pennsylvania State Police. The searches targeted apartments along N. 4th Street in Reading and S. Miller Street in Shillington Borough, both tied to the larger investigation.
State Police said the bust came from an investigation into drug trafficking in Berks and Schuylkill counties that had been running for several years. That timeline matters because long probes often rely on patterns, not one quick police encounter alone.
The warrants also explain why Reading and Shillington appear together in the case. Police described a large-scale operation, so the focus is not just where items were found, but how those locations may connect to alleged distribution across county lines.
Heroin, Fentanyl, Meth, and Other Drugs Seized
Troopers reported 210 bags of heroin, 411 grams of bulk heroin, 176 grams of bulk fentanyl, and 642 M30 fentanyl pills. They also listed 3,732 grams of bulk methamphetamine, a number that shows why police described the investigation as large-scale.
Police said they also seized 177 grams of bulk cocaine, 24 grams of crack cocaine, 445 ecstasy pills, 100 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, and 473 grams of bulk marijuana. The list cuts across several drug markets, not one narrow supply line.
Another 530 bags of processed THC edibles were included in the seizure list. Taken together, the heroin, fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, pills, mushrooms, marijuana, and edibles point to an alleged operation built around variety, volume, and repeat distribution.
Guns, Cash, Bail, and Court Dates
Along with the drugs, police said agents seized $6,963 in cash, 9 pistols, 2 shotguns, and an armored plate carrier. One of the shotguns was reported stolen, which adds another serious layer to the Berks County case for investigators reviewing evidence.
Weapons and armor matter because they change the risk around a trafficking investigation. Drugs may drive the charges, but firearms can raise danger for officers, neighbors, and anyone near the apartments on N. 4th Street and S. Miller Street too.
Court records show Culbert and Feliciano are both in Berks County Prison. Bail was set at $500,000 for Keith Culbert and $300,000 for Eddie Feliciano, with preliminary hearings scheduled for June 18, the next public step in court.
Endnote
Debate around large drug busts often centers on whether seizures disrupt supply or simply expose how much product is already moving. The deeper question is whether a years-long investigation can weaken distribution beyond the apartments searched in Reading and Shillington.
What comes next is the June 18 preliminary hearings, plus court review of the Reading and Shillington warrants. Prosecutors will need to connect Culbert, Feliciano, the seized drugs, weapons, and bail arguments to the alleged multi-county trafficking investigation clearly.
