Jubenal Renteria, 27, of West Grove, was arrested by state troopers on Saturday, Dec. 3, and held at Chester County Prison after he was unable to post $10,000 bail, said Oxford Borough police in a statement.

According to detectives, Renteria was one of 77 people charged in "Operation Wildfire," a January 2019 investigation targeting Chester County's illicit heroin and opiate trade.

State court records show Renteria was brought up on felony drug dealing charges on Jan. 8, 2019, when he was 23. That case remained open until he was arrested and arraigned over the weekend.

Renteria is due back for a preliminary hearing on Tuesday, Dec. 13.
