Two men were arrested after officers recovered over a pound of fentanyl during a traffic stop in Huber Heights Thursday.

Javier Alexis Martinez Millan and Michael Layne Elsasser, were taken into custody by authorities with the Miami Valley Bulk Smuggling Task Force, according to a release.

Millan is from Mexico and Elsasser is from Indiana, the release said.

"Fentanyl is a huge public safety concern. We have had over 50 suspected deaths from drug overdoses in Montgomery County since the beginning of the year. Please share the dangers of illicit fentanyl and heroin with friends and family to help us fight this epidemic," said Sheriff Phil Plummer.
