Alleged Fentanyl Dealer Posts Bond

(Michigan City, IN) - A Michigan City man has been accused of selling fentanyl. Devante Byrd, 28, was allegedly caught selling the deadly drug at his home in the 3200 block of Dody Avenue

 

The first transaction, made in May, involved $300 for 20 fentanyl pills. The following month saw 10 fentanyl pills sold for $200. On one occasion, police noted, there was a toddler present during the exchange.

 

Currently, Byrd is waiting for the case to be decided at home after having posted $2,500 cash bond last week.

 

If convicted on both counts, he would face anywhere from a five to 28-year sentence.
