A local man suspected of distributing methamphetamine was arrested Thursday afternoon by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) at a south Salina hotel.
According to information released this evening by the KBI, agents arrested Gregory “Bo” Westfall, 55, of Salina, at the Rodeway Inn, 3932 S. Ninth Street, at approximately 1:10 p.m. Thursday.
Westfall was arrested for alleged distribution, or possession with the intent to distribute, methamphetamine in November 2022 in Dickinson County, according to the KBI.
After Westfall was arrested, KBI agents observed drug paraphernalia in a room rented by an associate of Westfall. The agents then obtained a search warrant for the room. The Kansas Highway Patrol and the Salina Police Department assisted by offering K-9 officers to aid in the search.
During the search, methamphetamine, counterfeit oxycodone pills that were believed to be laced with fentanyl, and an illegal firearm were located.
Additionally, a woman who was not identified was detained for questioning.
Westfall was booked into the Dickinson County Jail. Additional charges are pending, the KBI noted.
The investigation is ongoing.
