Chiefland Man Arrested for Trafficking in Fentanyl


 

March 17, 2023

On March 15, 2023 Levy County Drug Task Force Detectives arrested Todd G. Myers (6/29/68) of Chiefland for an outstanding warrant for his arrest for sale of methamphetamines. Detectives knew Myers was residing in a camper trailer at 8051 NW 60 Street and when they arrived saw Myers walking out. He was immediately taken into custody. 

Detectives found two pill bottles in his pocket. One contained medication prescribed to him while the other contained 1.32 grams of fentanyl. A subsequent search of the camper trailer where he lived discovered another cache of 18.85 grams of fentanyl. Florida law describes trafficking of fentanyl as being in possession of more than four (4) grams and is a second degree felony that if convicted can result in a 25 year sentence. Fentanyl is the most dangerous street drug and is responsible for an untold number of overdose deaths. Mere exposure to your skin can cause an overdose resulting in death. Myers was also found in possession of 28.09 grams of marijuana and assorted drug paraphernalia.

He was booked in at the Levy County Detention Center and charged with the outstanding warrant as well as the new charges. His bond has been set at $122,500.00.
