The arrests followed an extensive, months-long investigation that included undercover purchases of fentanyl and crack. Two properties on East Side Road, 369 and 870, were searched as part of the operation.
During the bust, police seized over 150 grams of fentanyl, 20 grams of crack cocaine, three handguns, and over $10,000 in suspected drug proceeds.
The following individuals were arrested and charged:
