Federal law enforcement officials say they seized nearly 60 pounds of fentanyl stored in a shed behind a residence in Cobb County and conducted related searches tied to the investigation, according to a U.S. Attorney’s Office statement and local reporting. ^{2 1}

The Northern District of Georgia named 32‑year‑old Michael Antonio Cruz and says he was arraigned on federal drug‑trafficking charges; local outlets that covered the announcement attributed charge details to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. ²

News accounts and the federal statement say agents found the drugs packaged in multiple wrapped bricks and discovered cash and drug‑paraphernalia during searches; prosecutors’ materials do not include forensic lab reports or court filings in the public release, and the defendant’s allegation of criminal conduct remains subject to the presumption of innocence. ^{3 2}
