A Pennsylvania Democratic county commissioner is facing a sweeping set of felony charges after prosecutors alleged he conducted drug deals from inside government spaces as well as an official meeting.Authorities said Zachary Cole Borghi, serving in Lehigh County, was arrested Wednesday and charged with more than 100 drug-related felonies. 
Investigators alleged the 35-year-old used his personal cellphone to coordinate cocaine transactions, which sometimes occurred while inside county buildings.
According to charging documents, Borghi faces 89 felony counts tied to the alleged use of a communication device to facilitate drug sales, along with 14 additional felony counts for cocaine delivery and one count related to distributing psilocybin mushrooms.
Prosecutors outlined their case in a 175-page affidavit that reportedly includes more than 1,000 text messages exchanged between Borghi and three cooperating witnesses. The messages allegedly show detailed negotiations over pricing and arrangements for drug handoffs.
Investigators also alleged that payments for the transactions were conducted through digital platforms, including Apple Cash and Cash App.
