A Donora couple was jailed Friday after state police and agents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security arrested them for having a package containing suspected fentanyl delivered through the mail.

Christian B. Drennan, 37, and Tiffany Jean Beistel, 36, both of Mellon Avenue, were arrested Thursday in the parking lot of a Rostraver Township grocery store following a traffic stop shortly after the pair allegedly picked up a controlled delivery of 19 grams of suspected fentanyl. State police reported that the small package containing the drug was delivered to an address in nearby Elizabeth Township, Allegheny County, according to court documents.
