WILLISTON, N.D. -- Authorities in western North Dakota have charged two men with drug-related felonies after narcotics with a street value of more than $300,000 were found in their possession.

Pablo Lopez-Vallapando and Porifirio Ruiz were arrested Thursday after authorities said a confidential informant purchased methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine and marijuana from the men at the Aspen Lodge and Suites in Williston.

Bond for the men was set at $2 million each and they are being held at the Williams County jail. Each man faces eight charges.

In court documents, law enforcement said they executed a search warrant and found 11 ounces of methamphetamine, 9 ounces of heroin, 7.5 ounces of cocaine, more than 6 pounds of marijuana and apistol.
