DaJohnnius Ross, Flint, Mich., charged with intent to deliver fentanyl

DaJohnnius Demarcus Ross, 29, Flint, Mich., is charged in district court in Minot with Class B felony possession of fentanyl with intent to deliver and Class C felony possession of drug paraphernalia on Tuesday in Minot.

Ward County Deputy State’s Attorney Todd Schwarz told Judge Doug Mattson that Ross had 20 grams of fentanyl, a dangerous street drug, and he has an extensive criminal record involving dangerous drugs in Michigan courts. Ross told the judge that he has a son in Georgia and he had only moved to Minot this week from Michigan. Schwarz said that Ross is a flight risk as well.

According to the probable cause affidavit filed with the court, the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation obtained a warrant for room 104 at the Quality Inn & Suites in Minot. Ross was the only occupant of the room. In a locked safe, law enforcement officers found a plastic bag with multiple plastic bags with gray powder, a digital scale with residue, a package of ziplock bags, and a dish with gray residue. Ross was also in possession of $1,166 in U.S. currency. The fentanyl weighed 20 grams.

Mattson set bond at $100,000 for Ross.
