(KAIR)--A Leavenworth man found in possession of drugs, including fentanyl, while in a parking lot outside of a downtown Leavenworth school admits his guilt to the crime.

A release from the office of Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson says 39-year-old Steven Collins, last week in Leavenworth County District Court, entered his guilty plea to charges of unlawful possession of fentanyl and methamphetamine.

According to court documents cited in the release, Leavenworth police officers, on February 16 of this year, were dispatched to the area of 5th and Metropolitan after a witness reported seeing a man possibly doing drugs inside a parked car. While on the scene, officers arrested Collins, who was found to have a container containing a white powdery substance, a substance that would later test positive for fentanyl. Methamphetamine was also discovered.

Collins is scheduled for sentencing in a Leavenworth County District courtroom on the morning of August 2.
