Pair charged in drugs case

Brendan D. Hill, 23, and Robert Bacher, 22, were charged yesterday with multiple drug offenses stemming from a six-month police undercover operation that led to Tuesday's 6:35 a.m. raid on an 18th-floor Ala Wai Plaza unit at 500 University Ave.

A police report filed at District Court today said police found more than 16 grams of powdered cocaine in Hill's bedroom and 2.1 pounds of marijuana in Bacher's room. Bail is $50,000 for Hill and $35,000 for Bacher.

Police also seized nearly $15,000 cash and a car for forfeiture.

The investigation began Nov. 24 on a complaint that Hill was dealing cocaine and marijuana in Waikiki and near the University of Hawai'i campus, the report said. On April 1, police received a written complaint from Iolani School officials about suspected drug dealing near the canoe housing area and park adjacent to Ala Wai School.

Hill and Bacher are also charged with promoting drugs within 1,000 feet of a public school.
