Two arrested for drug possession
STEUBENVILLE Two men are in custody after police reportedly caught them Monday with large amounts of drugs in their possession, Jefferson County Drug Task Force Capt. John Lemal said.
Lloyd George Douglas Jr., 38, of 821 Oakmont Ave., was charged with one count of felony possession of drugs and one count of weapons under disability after officers caught him with over 500 grams more than a pound of fentanyl in his possession at an unidentified Sunset Boulevard business, Lamal said. Officers also seized more than $15,000 in cash and two firearms when they searched his residence, he added.
Lamal said evidence generated by the search led them to execute a search warrant of another business at the same Sunset Boulevard location. More than 500 grams of methamphetamine, 200 grams of what’s believed to be cocaine, 87 grams of crack and other unidentified substances were seized, he said.
