(La Porte, IN) - A 21-year-old La Porte man is accused of dealing the deadly and highly addictive drug fentanyl.

Cannon Breneman is charged in La Porte Circuit Court with two counts of dealing in a narcotic drug. According to court documents, Breneman was caught selling fentanyl from a residence in the 800 block of Harrison Street. The alleged transactions occurred about a week apart in early August.

Breneman allegedly sold nearly two grams of fentanyl in those exchanges for a combined $360.

Breneman could face anywhere from a 2 to 12-year sentence on the most serious count. He was being held in the La Porte County Jail on a $50,000 bond after being picked up on an arrest warrant on October 5.

Police believe the fentanyl pills came from Mexico.
