Three people were arrested and about 330 grams of fentanyl were seized as part of a drug investigation in Hancock County.

In recent weeks, drug agents have been looking into the trafficking of fentanyl from a home in Sullivan. On Monday night, agents and police searched the home, located on Morancy Road.

Agents uncovered fentanyl, 35 grams of cocaine, $3,700 in suspected drug proceeds and a loaded 12-gauge shotgun. The estimated street value of the drugs seized is about $55,000.

Police arrested and charged 27-year-old Steven Maldonado Rodriguez of South Lawrence, Massachusetts and Puerto Rico, 41-year-old Christopher Smith and 58-year-old Randolph Garland, both from Sullivan.

All three were charged with aggravated drug trafficking and are being held without bail at Hancock County Jail.
