A 58-year-old Cheyenne man is facing a felony charge after police reportedly found nearly five pounds of methamphetamine during a traffic stop in southwest Cheyenne.
The case started on Dec. 3 when a Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper attempted to pull over a pickup speeding southbound on Interstate 25 in Laramie County.
The federal case, and facts stated by Harkins during his pleas Wednesday, arose from a local investigation based on tips that he was using and selling illegal drugs at his home.
Sergeant Joshua Albrecht, a Patrol Sergeant with the Casper Police Department, told a K2 Radio News reporter that the CPD was assisting "another agency" in executing a search warrant.
One of the less glamorous things often associated with Wyoming is excessive illegal drug abuse. Fortunately, a new study shows that the Cowboy State is far from the worse in the country.
