ANTRIM TOWNSHIP, Franklin County — A Maryland man was arrested and charged with two felony drug counts after members of the Franklin County Drug Task Force executed a search warrant at a suspected drug distribution point at a residence in Antrim Township last Thursday, the task force announced Tuesday.
