(KRON) — On Thursday, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins charged two people after seizing over 700 grams of fentanyl in the Tenderloin.
According to court records, on March 31, the San Francisco Police Department noticed two men engaging in what appeared to be a drug deal in the Tenderloin.
Further investigation resulted in the seizure of 700 grams (approximately 1.5 pounds) of fentanyl as well as “several other substances,” officials said. Upon being charged, the DA’s office identified the substances as fentanyl, Oxycodone, methamphetamine, cocaine salt, and Xanax.
The two men were later identified as Jeremy Gonzalez-Sierra, 21, and Ronald Murillo-Zelaya, 23. Both were arraigned on Thursday, and both pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The next court date for both Gonzalez-Sierra and Murillo-Zelaya is April 16. Jenkins moved to detain both men because of “the public safety risk they pose,” Jenkins said. No bail is set for both men.
