MINNEAPOLIS – Two men have been indicted for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and fentanyl on the Red Lake Indian Reservation, announced United States Attorney Andrew M. Luger.
According to court documents, on or about September 4, 2024, Bobby Lee Donnell, 46, and Jordan Lee Lussier, 29, were stopped by the Minnesota State Patrol. A state trooper checked Donnell’s and Lussier’s driver’s licenses and found both had been revoked; Lussier also had a warrant for his arrest. A subsequent search of the vehicle led to the discovery of over 50 grams of methamphetamine and over 40 grams of fentanyl.
Donnell and Lussier were each indicted on one count of conspiracy to possess methamphetamine and fentanyl with the intent to distribute. An arraignment and motions hearing has been scheduled for January 24, 2025.
This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the FBI, Paul Bunyan Drug Task Force, and the Minnesota State Patrol.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Campbell Warner is prosecuting the case.
An indictment is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
