At approximately 12 p.m., Thursday, April 13, Investigators from the Lake Superior Violent Offender Task Force, Duluth Police Patrol Officers on D shift including our HRA Officer, and a St. Louis County K9 Officer arrested 34-year-old Duluth resident Matthew Erickson in the 1400 block of E Superior St after conducting a search warrant.

During the arrest and execution of a search warrant, more than 300 grams of fentanyl, 14 grams of heroin, and synthetic fentanyl pills were seized.

Good work to everyone involved for taking a prolific drug dealer off the streets to continue to create a safe Duluth for all.
