Accused Heroin, Fentanyl Dealer Indicted In South Euclid

SOUTH EUCLID, OH — A South Euclid man has been indicted for trafficking fentanyl, heroin and pills while using a gun, the Department of Justice announced this week.

Christopher Bowen, 25, was charged in a multi-count indictment. He faces charges of of distribution of drugs, possession with intent to distribute drugs, using a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

The indictment against Bowen says he sold fentanyl and heroin several times between May and June of this year. When Bowen was arrested, law enforcement found 14 grams of a heroin/fentanyl mixture, 31 grams of heroin, 64 Alprazolam pills, a Jimenez Arms 9 mm handgun, a Bryco Arms 9 mm handgun, an Anderson MFG long rifle, and ammunition.

Bowen had a previous conviction for drug trafficking, which barred him from having a gun or ammunition, the indictment said.
