Two suspected drug dealers, Patrick T. Fallon, 33, and Alexander R. Kluge, 34, were arrested in Gladstone, Missouri, after a major drug bust led to the seizure of over 21 grams of fentanyl, enough to kill more than 10,600 people. On December 20, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at a suspected drug house in the area of N Park Ave. and NE 72nd Terrace.
In addition to the fentanyl, authorities also discovered 19 grams of methamphetamine, half a gram of cocaine, over $2,800 in cash, and firearms including five rifles and a handgun. Both Fallon and Kluge were charged with felony drug trafficking, delivery of a controlled substance, and other related offenses. Fallon faces additional charges of drug possession and unlawful use of a weapon.
Both suspects are currently being held on a $50,000 bond. Authorities expressed hope that the arrests will bring a sense of relief to the Gladstone community as they continue to combat drug trafficking in the area.
