RUTLAND, Vt. — Two men from New York City are behind bars in Vermont following their arrest on drug-trafficking charges.
Police say 30-year-old Arkim Willis and 18-year-old Frank Jenkins, both of Brooklyn, were charged Friday at a hotel in Rutland.
Police were summoned to the hotel after a woman called 911 to report that one of the men had reached into her car at a nearby convenience store and stolen money.
When police entered the hotel room while responding to theft report, they found 287 packaged bags of heroin and a larger bag of heroin weighing 24 grams, with a combined street value of more than $31,000.
Officials said they also found crack cocaine and marijuana.
Willis and Jenks are scheduled to be arraigned on Monday.
