(Juneau, AK) – A Washington resident who arrived at the Juneau airport allegedly carrying some 4,000 fentanyl pills and 55 grams of methamphetamine was indicted by a Juneau grand jury Thursday.
The grand jury returned an indictment charging 48-year-old Christee Lea Luisantonio with one felony count of misconduct involving a controlled substance in the second degree and one felony count of misconduct involving a controlled substance in the third degree.
Luisantonio is scheduled to be arraigned in Superior Court on June 14 in Juneau. Her bail is set at $50,000. She is currently being held at Lemon Creek Correctional Center.
