Police have arrested a Chadron teenager for selling the same hallucinogen blamed for causing a Chadron college student to brutally stab his roommate to death 4 year ago.
Chadron Police Chief Tim Lordino says 18-year old Rusty J. Sitting Holy has been charge with delivery of psilocybin mushrooms with a thousand feet of a city park.
Sitting Holy is also charged in a separate case with witness tampering, possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Lordino says his department and the WING anti-drug task force had investigated the illegal distribution of narcotics over the last several weeks, eventually making an undercover buy from Sitting Holy at his home in the Kenwood area, within a thousand feet of Boog and Mary Horse Park.
Lordino says that Sitting Holy is also accused of making threats last Thursday to a witness in a separate Chadron police-WING investigation. That led to a search warrant raid at his home in which officers seized marijuana, marijuana pipes, ammunition, and cell phones.
