Male Arrested for 2nd Degree Sale of Fentanyl and Meth
On Wednesday, July 15, members of the Lake Superior Violent Offender Task Force (LSVOTF) observed 54-year-old Michael Clark selling drugs in the 200 block of the #2 alley to vulnerable individuals in our community. Clark is currently on probation for Felony Domestic Assault and 3rd Degree Possession of Fentanyl. Investigators arrested and lodged Clark at the St. Louis County Jail for pending charges of 2nd Degree Sale of Fentanyl and 2nd Degree Sale of Meth. During a search incident to arrest, investigators also located and seized 5.6 grams of fentanyl and 3.6 grams of methamphetamine that were packaged for sale.
Good work to the LSVOTF for arresting this individual who continues to victimize the most vulnerable members of our community.
