Forsyth County brothers arrested for distributing drugs out of Cumming home

Two brothers face a list of charges in Forsyth County for allegedly running a drug house at a home on Pincerest Place in Cumming.

Zackary Christopher Berrong, 25, and Charles Trenton Berrong, 20, were taken into custody March 20 following an investigation that involved Homeland Security, according to a news release from the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office.

A search of the house by haz-mat teams turned up Fentanyl, a prescription pain reliever often linked to overdose deaths. Deputies also found "research chemicals" in the home.

"These chemicals mimic the effects illegal narcotics have in the body and while some are legal to possess, all are not meant for human consumption," said Deputy Doug Rainwater, Forsyth County Sheriff's Office spokesman, in a statement.

Authorities also discovered LSD, Cathinone (bath salts), Diazepam (anti-anxiety medication) and Butylone (psychadelic drug similar to Ecstasy).

The suspects were booked into the Forsyth County Adult Detention Center on five felony drug distribution charges each.
