All five of the suspects are facing federal drug charges.

He was charged almost two years ago following a large methamphetamine bust in southeast Minnesota.

The major drug case began with a report of a financial card transaction fraud call.

Law enforcement conducted 23 controlled buys of fentanyl trafficked by the organization over the course of the investigation.

Law enforcement found thousands of the deadly pills after executing a search warrant in one of the rooms, federal court documents say.

Both cases stem from an investigation regarding a missing 14-year-old girl.

"I never thought a day with my baby girl would end like this. In March 2023, I was in the car by Bowlocity in Rochester and was pulled over. Turns out the driver had a warrant. They found paraphernalia in the trunk and it was mine. My name is Danielle and addiction had taken control of my life."

Apparently, bong water is considered "a controlled substance" under Minnesota law still.

Officers responded to the report of an unresponsive baby who was not breathing.

An autopsy of the child determined she died of acute fentanyl toxicity.
