LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — After a days-long trial, a Little Rock man was found guilty of possession with intent to distribute several illegal drugs.

According to reports, 42-year-old Marquis Hunt was detained in July 2022 while a search warrant was obtained. During a search of the home, agents found about 1.5 pounds of methamphetamine and over 16 pounds of fentanyl. They also found "distributable amounts" of both marijuana and cocaine. 

While conducting the search, they also found what appeared to be a form of synthetic marijuana that is known as "K2."

During his trial, Hunt acknowledged selling drugs but he then denied selling the drugs that were located at the home.

He was found guilty of four federal narcotics violations: possession with intent to distribute 400 grams or more of fentanyl, possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute cocaine, and possession with intent to distribute marijuana.

Hunt will be sentenced at a later date and faces a minimum of 10 years in federal prison with a maximum sentence of life in prison.
