BISMARCK (KFGO) – A federal grand jury has indicted a Michigan man suspected of transporting large quantities of fentanyl pills to North Dakota.
Twenty-five-year-old Larry Owens III is charged with two counts of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.
Federal prosecutors say Owens was arrested in June while transporting hundreds of suspected fentanyl pills.
After posting bond, Owens was again arrested, found in an apartment in Minot with over 5000 fentanyl pills, numerous cell phones and a large amount of cash.
US Attorney Drew Wrigley said the pills had a street value of about $400,000, considered the largest fentanyl seizure ever in Minot.
