Dermishyan and Yang have now had conspiracy, drug possession and distribution of drugs within a jail facility felonies added to the charges they're facing.
Exactly what the pair were already in jail for was not stated by the sheriff's office.
Investigators are still trying to trace the people who were mailing the drugs.
