CASPER, Wyo. — Federal charges have been filed for a Worland man after state drug enforcement agents seized 2.6 pounds of suspected methamphetamine and 2,730 fentanyl pills from an Evansville hotel last month.
Quinton James Fisher was arrested in the early morning hours of March 19 at the Sleep Inn hotel room where the drugs were found, along with numerous firearms.
Agents believe that Worland resident Wesley James Page had left the room about a half-hour before the raid after purchasing about a pound of methamphetamine from Fisher, according to the federal complaint.
Fisher and Page are presumed innocent unless proven or pleading guilty.
Agents searching Page’s property in Worland found a satchel with 0.96 pounds of suspected methamphetamine under the floorboards of his 2009 Audi, as well as a digital scales and gram-amounts of meth in smaller baggies, the complaint said.
On the evening of March 18, Casper police conducted a traffic stop that led to the search of a Casper hotel room and the discovery of about a quarter-pound of suspected methamphetamine. Agents were told the meth had been purchased earlier that night from a man named “Q” at the Sleep Inn, the federal complaint states.
Agents got a warrant for the Sleep Inn room. Fisher and three others were in the room. In addition to the quantities of suspected methamphetamine and fentanyl, agents said they found smaller amounts of a suspected cocaine–methamphetemaine mixture and psilocybin mushrooms.
They also found $4,562 cash and a handgun on Fisher, the complaint said. Three semi-automatic rifles were also found in a closet.
One source told agents that Fisher had brought 10 pounds of meth into Natrona County from Colorado in the previous 10 days. The source added that Fisher had also sold a pound of meth for $1,800 to man named “Wes,” who had left about 30 minutes before agents raided the room.
Agents looking into Fisher’s phone found a text thread between “Wes” and “QtheMafioso,” which contained discussions of the sale of “the P,” which agents say refers a pound of methamphetamine. The texts largely focused on the price of a Chevy Colorado pickup that “Wes” was selling to Fisher. Agents noted that truck in the parking lot prior to the raid.
They checked the public Facebook page of the registered owner and found that the person was in a relationship with Wesley Page.
