A Johnston man was arrested last week for reportedly selling drugs out of his car in New Bedford. According to CBS 12 in Providence, Investigators received a tip last Thursday that someone was selling fentanyl out of a car with a Rhode Island license plate where officers spotted the vehicle a short time later and pulled it over near the intersection of County and Union streets. While searching, officers found nearly 50 grams of fentanyl, as well as a cutting agent often used for street sales.

The driver, 29-year-old Elison Luis Marinez Jean, was taken into custody and charged with trafficking fentanyl in excess of 36 grams.
