COLUMBUS, Ohio — Two men were arrested on Tuesday after the Franklin County Sheriff's Office found more than one kilogram of fentanyl in east Columbus.
The sheriff's office said the fentanyl was found during an undercover investigation that led to a traffic stop on Interstate 71 near Stringtown Road.
Following that incident, SWAT team members and a Special Investigation Unit raided the suspects' home in the 800 block of Byron Avenue. During that raid, investigators found an additional 1,200 grams of fentanyl, according to a post on the Franklin County Sheriff's Office Facebook Page.
Nelson Matute, 36, and Sergio Vazquez, 31, were both charged with aggravated drug trafficking. Their bond is set at 1 million dollars, the sheriff's office said.
