Roger and his mother Erica Bell are also charged with maintaining a home on Ohio Street as a place to manufacture and distribute the drugs.
Each one of the defendants are facing a minimum of five years behind bars, more if they have a previous drug conviction. They could also be forced to pay thousands of dollars in fines.
Authorities also say a 12th woman, whose name has not been released yet, turned herself in Wednesday afternoon.
A bond hearing is set for next week.
