A Grand Chute man accused of selling drugs out of his furniture store is now facing federal charges.
Christopher Turner was arrested in December when a confidential informant told police that he was selling fentanyl out of Turner’s Discount Furniture on West College Avenue in Grand Chute.
He was initially facing state charges, but now his local case was dropped as he was hit with federal charges.
A search of his store uncovered 32 grams of fentanyl, nearly 19 grams of cocaine, and numerous items of drug paraphernalia, while a shoulder bag on his person was said to contain over $60,000 in cash.
Additional drugs and cash were also found in Turner’s apartment.
He is due in federal court on January 31st for his preliminary hearing.
