Michigan men caught with fentanyl in West Virginia
Two Michigan men are in custody in West Virginia after police say they had "an extremely large quantity of fentanyl" and cash in their vehicle.
St. Albans police say they tried to stop a vehicle that Levonte Marvontez Bell, 36, of Detroit, and Jaylen Dalaino Bell, 28, of DeWitt, were inside on Saturday. However, the driver took off and led officers on a chase.
When the vehicle eventually stopped due to mechanical issues, police arrested the men and searched the vehicle, finding the drugs and money. Police also believe the men threw some fentanyl out of the vehicle while they were running.
Both Levonte and Jaylen are charged with intent to deliver fentanyl and reckless fleeing. They are being held in the South Central Regional Jail on $25,000 cash bonds.
Gas prices soar
Your wallet is going to feel it if you need to fill up soon - gas prices are the highest they've been in three months.
Drivers are paying an average of $3.67 per gallon for regular unleaded, with a 15-gallon tank of gas costing about $55. This is 11 cents more than this time last month.
While prices have spiked, they are still 56 cents less per gallon than this time last year, and a 15-gallon tank is about $23 cheaper than 2022's highest price last June.
And this trend could continue.
"With supplies tight, if demand climbs, pump prices will likely follow suit," said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group.
