One man was arrested at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport with an estimated 40,000 fentanyl pills worth $400,000 in the city and far more in rural Alaska, federal attorneys say. Some prior shipments included 200,000 pills at a time, prosecutors allege.
Two Arizona men face federal charges in Alaska accusing them of transporting large amounts of the illegal and highly potent drug fentanyl into the state by way of flights into Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.
Shaw, a Tempe resident described by prosecutors as the leader of the operation, was arrested earlier this month in Arizona and brought to Alaska this week. An undercover agent communicated with Shaw via social media and learned he would send “couriers” to Alaska on commercial airlines with pills in their checked luggage, according to a government memo filed in the case.
James, a Phoenix resident, was serving as a courier in June when he was arrested at the Anchorage airport with what prosecutors say was about 40,000 pills in his checked luggage, according to the memo.
