 After an investigation, law enforcement learned that Needham had been selling fentanyl in the Bemidji area. Needham entered a guilty plea before the Honorable Janine Brand. During the plea hearing, Needham admitted in open court that he gave fentanyl to the woman, and that as a result, it was foreseeable that someone could die. Last Tuesday, Needham was sentenced to 78 months in prison. After the conviction, County Attorney Hanson said that fentanyl continues to be one of the largest dangers in our community.
