Men Busted With $660K In Fentanyl At Langhorne Restaurant: Police

MIDDLETOWN, PA — Two men from out of state were arrested outside a popular Middletown restaurant last week with what police said was $660,000 worth of fentanyl, a potentially deadly opioid.

Arlington M. Perez-Gonzalez, 38, of Bronx, New York, and Francisco Elisaul Morillo, 30, of Union City, N.J., are charged with felony possession of drugs with intent to distribute and conspiracy charges.

According to Bucks County Detectives, the two arrived together at Margarita's, at 198 N. Bucks Town Dr. in Langhorne, at about 6:10 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 26. There, they delivered about two kilograms of fentanyl to a cooperating source, according to a police affidavit.

The drugs were packaged in two bricks wrapped in black tape and clear cellophane. According to detectives, the two bricks amounted to a massive 66,600 doses of fentanyl, worth about $660,000.

Once they made the handoff, the two were taken into police custody.

Both men remained in Bucks County Correctional Facility Tuesday on $5 million bail each. A preliminary hearing in the case is set for Thursday.
