Kings County man admits to fentanyl crime
Ryan Patrick Caissie, 40, of Springfield, also pleads guilty to 2023 burglary of food truck
When Mounties responded to a report of a break-in September 2023, they didn’t expect to find the culprit conveniently passed out at the wheel of his car with a stash of fentanyl.
Ryan Patrick Caissie, 40, of Route 870 in Springfield - about 90 kilometres east of Fredericton and 35 km west of Sussex - was scheduled to stand trial in Fredericton provincial court on several serious charges.
He’d previously pleaded not guilty to Sept. 26, 2023, counts of possessing fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking, breaking into a food truck belonging to Don MacLellan, possessing stolen property belonging to MacLellan and operating a motor vehicle while impaired by a drug, all in Cambridge-Narrows.
