BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said officers have made what is believed to be the largest fentanyl pill bust in the Midwest with the arrest of a man who is under federal investigation.
Hodges said the fentanyl seizure happened after officers were called when a man tried to use someone else’s credit card at a local hotel.
Officers arrested Marcus Trice in connection with the fraud and, during a search, discovered nearly 109,000 doses of M30 fentanyl pills in Trice’s luggage.
Hodges said that is enough to kill one-fifth of the state’s population as he announced the arrest Thursday.
Trice is now in federal custody following a Sept. 20 federal arrest warrant for possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.
