Three men are being held in the Westmoreland County Prison after state police pulled over a vehicle speeding westbound on the Pennsylvania Turnpike and found about 223 grams of suspected cocaine inside, according to court papers.

Dwayne H. Crawford, 29, of New York City, was driving a Cadillac at 68 mph in a 55 mph zone Wednesday in New Stanton, police said. During a traffic stop, investigators were permitted to search the vehicle and found the drugs, according to court papers.

Crawford, Donovan Obrian Crawford-Dykes, 25, of Newark, N.J., and Nelson Edgar Rodriguez, 26, of New York City, were charged with drug possession. All three are being held in lieu of $100,000 bond each.

Preliminary hearings are set for Wednesday. None of the suspects had attorneys listed in online court records.
