Somerset Man Arrested with $10,000 of Suspected Fentanyl
SOMERSET — Somerset Police seized around 40 "bricks" of suspected fentanyl valued at approximately $10,000 during an arrest this week, according to a release from the department.
Officers said they arrested and charged 36-year-old Bryan King of Somerset with trafficking fentanyl on Tuesday after receiving information that he would be traveling to Rhode Island for drugs.
Police said King is an alleged known drug dealer in the area.
According to police, officers stopped the vehicle in which King was a passenger on Brayton Point Road in Somerset and found a total of 40 "bricks," or packets of 50 individual bags, of suspected fentanyl in a bag at his feet.
