Grand Island, Neb. — Brandon Bahensky, 35, of Grand Island, has been indicted on federal charges after a significant drug bust at his home. Bahensky is facing charges of possession with intent to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine and 40 grams of fentanyl, along with possession of a firearm during the commission of a drug trafficking crime.
Earlier charges in Hall County District Court were dismissed following his federal indictment. These included six counts of possession of various drugs, including methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, marijuana, and psilocybin mushrooms, along with one count of possessing a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony.
