PINEVILLE, La. (KPEL News) - A Rapides Parish man has learned that selling meth and fentanyl out of his home is not a great idea.

• Possession of CDS I (Marijuana) with intent to Distribute
• Two counts possession of counterfeit CDS II with intent to distribute
• Possession of CDS IV with intent to distribute
• Illegal carrying firearm with drugs
• Convicted felon in possession of firearm
