Clayton County police arrested two Morrow store employees on drug charges Wednesday afternoon after investigating the premises based on a citizen's complaint.

Authorities had been checking out possible drug activity at Moe's Outlet, in the 6700 block of Mount Zion Boulevard, during the past 30 days, according to the news release.

Armed with a search warrant, police arrested Fernanda K. Tyler, 41, of Forest Park and Obrey Mason 34, of Rex.

Tyler and Mason were charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and possession of marijuana of more than an ounce, police said. The suspects were transported to the Clayton County Jail.

Similar charges may be filed against the store owner, police said.

Authorities seized a half pound of marijuana, 4.5 pounds of suspected synthetic marijuana and several semiautomatic weapons.
