GLENDON, Pa. — Authorities arrested two out-of-state men after seizing about 20,000 fentanyl pills during a traffic stop, officials said Thursday.
Jorge Joel Gomez Guzmen, of Maryland, and Maykol Jeffrie Goris Hiciano, of New York, are in Northampton County Prison in lieu of $250,000 bail, Northampton County District Attorney Stephen G. Baratta announced.
On Oct. 29, state police conducted a traffic stop on Interstate 78 in Glendon and identified Goris Hiciano as the driver and Gomez Guzmen as his passenger, Baratta said.
Goris Hiciano consented to a police search of his vehicle.
During the search, troopers discovered a large Ziplock bag that contained two vacuum-sealed clear plastic bags with small round blue pills — later determined to be fentanyl — marked with the letter "M".
The two were arraigned on Wednesday before District Judge Robert C. Weber.
