Two men from Holmes Beach, Florida were arrested Tuesday after fentanyl and ecstasy were found following a traffic stop on U.S. 1.

The Sheriff’s Office stopped a black GMC truck at approximately 1 a.m. near Mile Marker 5.5. A Key West Police Department K9 Unit alerted to the presence of drugs in the vehicle.

A baggie containing 1.07 grams of fentanyl was found inside a soda can and a baggie containing 1.51 grams of ecstasy was found inside a cup. Both men were taken to jail.
