BOSTON — Two men from Georgia and Boston are facing several drug charges after police executed a search warrant at a Norton Street home in Dorchester on Wednesday.
Julian Niles, 34, of Stone Mountain, Georgia, and Daeshawn Jackson, 21, of Boston, are both charged with possession with intent to distribute Class A, fentanyl, police said Thursday.
Jackson also faces charges of trafficking Class B, crack cocaine; unlawful possession of a large capacity firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, unlawful possession of a large capacity feeding device, improper storage of a firearm and receiving stolen property.

A further search of Niles revealed one plastic bag containing seven smaller bags of light blue powdery fentanyl, and nine plastic bags of crack cocaine concealed on his person.
