Twin brothers, including one who was out on a bond on a murder charge in Dallas County, are now facing multiple felony drug charges in Denton, police say.
According to the Denton Record-Chronicle, police seized 8.8 pounds of pills containing fentanyl and methamphetamine after arresting 20-year-old twin brothers Julian and Tristan Sesalem last week.
Police said in a statement they were investigating Julian in connection with pressed pills laced with fentanyl and learned he was at his apartment with a large number of pills.
When detectives detained the twins inside a vehicle outside the apartment, they said they found that Julian was in possession of not only pills but also a handgun. Detectives said they also noticed Julian was wearing an ankle monitor and learned he was currently out on bond for a murder charge out of Dallas County.
