The owner of Anacostia’s popular Uniontown Bar and Grill has been charged in a federal drug-trafficking investigation. Federal drug agents tracked 65 kilograms (around 140 pounds) of cocaine from Texas to the woman’s office in Fort Washington.

Natasha Dasher, 36, opened the restaurant this February, and was lauded for bringing a much-needed sit-down restaurant and social meeting place as well as additional jobs to a long-neglected part of the city.

Residents in Ward 8 saw the restaurant’s opening as an encouraging sign of good things to come for the neighborhood.

From the Washington Post:

Dasher, who arrived at the office complex shortly after the truck pulled in, confirmed to the agents that the truck driver, Manuel Jesus Robles, had entered her office, according to the affidavit. Dasher provided the agents with a key to the suite, and when they went inside, they found Robles and three large duffel bags containing about $1.5 million, the affidavit says. Robles told agents that 65 kilograms of cocaine could be found in the fuel tank of the truck, according to the affidavit.

Agents seized the money, as well as the cocaine, which was to be divided between Dasher and alleged co-conspirator Derek Anthony Tinsley, the affidavit says.

Dasher, Robles and Tinsley were charged in U.S. District Court in Maryland and Texas with possession with the intent to distribute at least five kilograms of cocaine.

The Post reports that court documents indicate there could be a deal in the works between Dasher and the U.S. attorney’s office.
