2 Minnesotans Arrested In Nebraska With 5,000 Fentanyl Pills
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A man and woman from Minnesota were arrested in Nebraska last month for their alleged involvement in trafficking fentanyl.
According to the East Central Drug Task Force, the 21-year-old man from Cambridge and 20-year-old woman from North Branch will face trafficking and drug-related charges, and could face additional federal charges.
The task force said 5,000 fentanyl pills and 6 grams of cocaine were seized during the arrest on June 18. The man was apparently under investigation for distributing the pills in Isanti and Chicago counties.
"These drugs are exceptionally dangerous in our communities, especially among young adults experimenting with drug use," the task force said in a release. "Ingestion of these pills can be fatal, and members of our communities have already died as a result."
WCCO-TV does not typically name people arrested until they are formally charged with a crime.
