A court ordered Gant to pay $4,450 to the state’s Anti-Racketeering Revolving Fund, which goes toward drug education and substance abuse programs.
“The Attorney General’s office is making Arizona safer by busting one fentanyl dealer after another,” Attorney General Kris Mayes said in the release. “My office continues to work in lockstep with local law enforcement to put an end to the scourge of fentanyl that’s infiltrated every Arizona community. Drug dealers and the cartels should be thinking twice before operating in my jurisdiction.”
