Federal authorities have indicted a 38-year-old Allentown, Pa., man on drug possession charges, after they say he was stopped on his way from Hartford with two kilos of “suspected fentanyl.”
Regino Morillo-Espinal was charged Tuesday with possession with intent to distribute 400 grams or more of fentanyl, the U.S. attorney’s office for the District of Connecticut said.
On March 26, law enforcement stopped Morillo-Espinal’s vehicle on Interstate 91 south, after the DEA’s Hartford Task Force identified him “as a trafficker of wholesale quantities of fentanyl,” a press release said.
