Bond was set at $500,000 cash Wednesday for the 44-year-old Cheyenne fugitive who was captured last Thursday night following a chase through north central Cheyenne.
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 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.
A federal warrant for Ryan Harkins' arrest on two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm and methamphetamine distribution was filed in January.
