(KMZA)--A Wamego man has been arrested in connection with the apparent fentanyl overdose death of a 21-year-old man.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation, in a release, said KBI agents and the Wamego Police Department arrested 20-year-old McKaine Farr Tuesday for the alleged distribution of a controlled substance causing great bodily harm or death.

He was booked into the Pottawatomie County Jail.
