ROBINSON CREEK, Ky. — Two Pike County residents were arrested Thursday on charges of trafficking in fentanyl and other drugs.Pikeville Police obtained a search warrant for a Groundhog Road home at

Robinson Creek, as part of a drug investigation by Detective Zach Bowens. When they searched the residence, they found fentanyl, meth, Suboxone, methadone and Xanax.

Two people were at the home at the time of the raid and were arrested. They are Frank Beavers, 42, of Shelbiana, and Elisha Robinson, 40, of Robinson Creek.

Because police found more than an ounce of fentanyl, the two were charged with aggravated fentanyl trafficking. That means they face a potential prison sentence of 10-to-20 years, of which they will be required to serve at least 85 percent before becoming eligible for parole.

Both are being held in the Pike County Detention Center.
