A major drug trafficking bust in Maryland ended with two men behind bars and enough firepower and narcotics seized to stock a small arsenal, police say.

Alishawaine Monk, 34, of Port Deposit and 45-year-old Ronald Dugger of North East were arrested following a multi-agency investigation that stretched across Cecil County and into southern Pennsylvania, state police announced on Tuesday, April 29.
