TWO HELD ON DRUG CHARGES

Lonaconing resident Shawn Spiker and Andrew Patrick Russell of Cumberland have been arrested and face drug charges related to the distribution and sales of fentanyl and methamphetamine in the Allegany County area. Local law enforcement agencies executed a search warrant in the 1200 block of National Highway on Tuesday, which led to the recovery of large amounts of fentanyl, meth, and CDS packing materials. The investigation is ongoing, but the two were held without bail, following a District Court hearing.
