After neighborhood complaints about drug sales and information from other investigations, the I-135/I-70 Drug Task Force arrest a Salina man on drug charges that include selling methamphetamine , and selling meth within a 1000 feet of a school.

Lt. Jim Norton Drug Task Force Commander says that 31-year-old Lane Boutdara who was living in the garage of his family at 1516 Pueblo was arrested Thursday, after a search warrant was executed at the home and 29.3 grams of methamphetamine was seized along with 7 lortab pills that appeared to be packaged for sale.

Boutdara, a convicted felon, also had a 9mm handgun with 8 rounds.

The DTF made three drug buys from Boutdara including one from the home, which is less than 1000 feet from Sunset Elementary School.

Lt. Norton says he does not anticipate any further arrests, and the U.S. Attorney’s office could be filing charges as well in connection with criminal possession of a firearm by a felon.
