The couple, who are parents to two daughters, ages 13 and 19, also were charged with acting in a manner injurious to a child because one of their girls was at home during the drug bust.

The pair were expected to be arranged on Friday afternoon.

She was charged with misdemeanor assault, but prosecutors later dismissed the case.

Lee D’Avanzo was convicted in 2001 for a string of bank robberies and drug deals and in 2006 was released from federal prison.

He went back to prison a few years later after police arrested him while he and a group of men attempted to break into a bank vault.
