Hogan says through surveillance and interviews, they were able to track Ashley Nicole Haberman's and her then boyfriend Brady Joseph Ehler's movements to Colorado, where they purchased fentanyl and brought it back to Laramie County to distribute.

"The investigation revealed that Haberman and other coconspirators were redistributing the fentanyl for several months and that one redistributor sold the fentanyl to another person who overdosed," Hogan said in a press release.

"Detectives also issued search warrants, resulting in the seizure of fentanyl and drug paraphernalia from Ehler’s vehicle and their shared hotel room," she added.
