A 40-year-old man and a 30-year-old man were arrested for trafficking illegal drugs, according to the Athens-Clarke County Police Department.

Darrell Jackson and Darien Woodrum, both from Athens, were arrested on Wednesday.

Police seized more than seven kilograms of methamphetamine, six ounces of fentanyl, and over eight pounds of marijuana.

The Drug Enforcement Administration says just 2 milligrams of fentanyl can kill someone depending on their body size, tolerance, and past usage.

Drug dealers mix fentanyl with other drugs because of its potency and low cost, according to the DEA. The drug is 100x more potent than morphine.
