The notoriously potent synthetic drug fentanyl continues to appear in Vermont police press releases, including the latest incident in the Windsor County town of Weathersfield. On Friday, State Police reported that a confidential informant helped bring to police an alleged fentanyl dealer.

Danielle McAllister, 42, of Weathersfield, is being charged with the possession of fentanyl, crack cocaine, and their report called “narcotic/stimulant/depressant”. The Vermont State Police Drug Task Force and the Weathersfield Police Department worked together on this case.

The arrest stemmed from a months-long investigation by detectives with the Vermont Drug Task Force into “the distribution of fentanyl and cocaine” within the Town of Weathersfield. The investigation involved “the use of confidential informants who purchased fentanyl from McAllister.”
