Overview
- Zachary Cole Borghi, taken into custody Wednesday in Bethlehem, was arraigned with bail set at $500,000 straight, according to WFMZ.
- He faces 104 charges that include 89 counts of criminal use of a communications facility, 14 counts for delivery of cocaine, and one count for delivery of psilocybin.
- Search warrants for his cellphone and Apple iCloud produced forensic records that link alleged deals to November 2023 through August 2025, with earlier texts reaching back to 2021.
- Investigators say he bought or sold drugs from his Bethlehem home, a relative’s home, Bethlehem City Hall, and Upper Saucon Township, and that he arranged a deal during a county commissioners meeting and sold cocaine at a Northampton County Community College symposium.
- The case is part of Lehigh County’s 12th Investigating Grand Jury, and commissioners said they lack a way to remove an elected member as one colleague urged him to resign ahead of a March 31 preliminary hearing.
