Summary
A 26-year-old man named Victor Contreras got busted in Vermont with over 1,200 fentanyl packets after allegedly stealing a backpack near the Amtrak station—thinking the owner had drugs. Cops found the stash near a hospital and caught him with some fentanyl on his person. But this isn’t his first brush with the law: he’s skipped court, violated probation in Massachusetts, faces a felony in Connecticut, and once tried to fake his identity to dodge Border Patrol. The judge called him a flight risk and danger to the community, citing his drug use, weapon history, and lack of ties to Vermont. His lawyer pushed for home detention, but the judge refused—saying releasing him could be disastrous given the evidence and his track record.
