Fergus Falls, MN – A man has been sentenced in Fergus Falls after a woman overdosed on fentanyl he provided.

According to court documents, 25-year-old Devon Leabo of Lino Lakes has been sentenced to 51 months in the Minnesota Correctional Facility in St. Cloud for Great Bodily Harm by Drug Distribution and 23 months for Illegally Possessing a Firearm as a Convict.

In November 2023, the Fergus Falls Police Department received a 911 call stating a woman overdosed in a gas station bathroom. A witness saw the incident and began performing CPR before law enforcement arrived and transported her to Lake Region Healthcare, where she was stabilized.

Investigators found that the woman had been contacting Leabo through Snapchat. Police were able to retrieve records of photos on Leabo’s account from the company. The pictures provided evidence of him possessing fentanyl pills and a handgun. Leabo was previously convicted of robbery and is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition.

Court records show Leabo plead guilty to Causing Great Bodily Harm by Drug Distribution and Illegally Possessing a Firearm back in January.
