An alleged drug dealer who was busted in Laramie County this summer has pleaded not guilty to an indictment charging him with possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.

Diego J. Aguilar-Valdovinos, 28, of Federal Way, Washington, entered his plea Monday, Oct. 25, in US District Court in Cheyenne.

Aguilar-Valdovinos was arrested on July 27 after a Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper stopped him for speeding on Interstate 80 east of Cheyenne and discovered 24 pounds of fentanyl inside his vehicle.
