Two Girardville men are facing charges after drugs and drug paraphernalia were found in a home last month.
According to the Republican Herald, State police at Reading said the Schuylkill County Adult Probation Department, in conjunction with police from Frackville and Butler Township and the Schuylkill County Drug Task Force, executed a search warrant at 1 Upper Railroad St. on Sept. 24.
The warrant led to the discovery of more than 6 grams of suspected fentanyl, about 2 grams of methamphetamine and more than 50 grams of marijuana, along with paraphernalia.
Police said charges against 49 year old Francis Weikel, and 30 year old Jeremy Leatherman, will be filed with Magisterial District Judge Christina E. Hale, Frackville, at the conclusion of the investigation.
