LAUREL, Md. — Thousands of fentanyl pills and multiple weapons have been recovered after an investigation in Prince George's County revealed several suspects were supposedly trafficking drugs.
Police say three suspects were arrested as a result of the investigation including 26-year-old Dream Edwards of Columbia, Maryland, 22-year-old Romel Johnson of Laurel, and 34-year-old Michael Jordan Thompson of Washington, DC.
During the course of the investigation, detectives executed a search warrant at a home on Avebury Drive in Laurel. Four firearms, 300 fentanyl pills, and other items of evidence were recovered. A subsequent search warrant of two cars connected to the suspects led to the recovery of an AK-47, three pounds of marijuana, and 3,000 fentanyl pills.
