A Manhattan man on Monday pleaded guilty to three fentanyl distribution charges, a fraction of the charges he originally faced across three cases.
David Alan Labombarbe, 39, entered a plea deal with state prosecutors in Riley County District Court and now is convicted of distributing between 1 and 3.5 grams of fentanyl, possession of fentanyl and possession of digital drug scales and baggies. The crimes were charged in one of three cases against him.
Labombarbe said the charges arose because he was going through a rough patch after the death of someone he knew and was using fentanyl in his home when police showed up. He said he used the drug himself and intended to distribute it to others.
