(KAIR)--A Platte City, Missouri man has been found guilty of unlawfully possessing fentanyl.
According to a release from the office of Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, 45-year-old Eric Elliot, last week, entered a no contest plea for unlawful possession of a controlled substance. That happened during a hearing held December 29 in Leavenworth County District Court.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for February 9.
The release explains that on August 8, 2022, an officer with the Basehor Police Department stopped the vehicle Elliot was operating after noticing the vehicle had crossed the centerline of the roadway.
During the traffic stop, the officer noticed aluminum foil and straws inside the vehicle. Inside the aluminum foil, a substance was found that would later test positive for fentanyl.
