Bond set at $250K for Middletown man charged in fentanyl bust

Bond was set at $250,000, cash or surety, for a Middletown man charged with drug abuse/fentanyl, a first-degree felony, and the case against another Middletown man charged with drug trafficking, a first-degree felony, was bound over to a Warren County grand jury.

Estevian Glenn, 23, was arraigned this morning in Middletown Municipal Court and Visiting Judge William Wolff Jr. set bond and the preliminary hearing for Aug. 5.

Earlier, Glenn was charged with drug trafficking and he was an inmate in the Warren County Jail.

Dalaquan Wright, 22, appeared in Warren County Court last week and his case was bound over, according to court records. His bond remained at $200,000.

The third person arrested, McKinnah Sparks, 22, of Middletown, was charged with permitting drug abuse, a fifth-degree felony. She is scheduled to appear this afternoon in Middletown Municipal Court.

The three were arrested earlier this month when several police agencies made what officials called a “major hit” to the illegal drug industry.

Police said one kilo of fentanyl — enough for 10,000 doses — was seized.

Sgt. Brandon Lacy from the Warren County Drug Task Force called the one kilo, or 2.2 pounds of fentanyl, “very, very substantial.” He said the average dose of fentanyl is one-tenth of one gram, and there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram.

Wright played football and basketball and ran track for the Middies and was named the school’s Homecoming King in 2014, according to Journal-News archives. He and Sparks graduated from MHS in 2015, according to the district.
