57-year-old Jeffrey Charles Podolske pleaded guilty to a felony charge related to a significant drug seizure in Rochester, Minnesota. In 2022, a traffic stop led to the discovery of 685 counterfeit oxycodone pills containing fentanyl and $1,000 cash in a leather vest on his motorcycle, with $1,600 more found on his person. Charged with first-degree drug sales and second-degree drug possession, Podolske admitted to the second-degree possession charge as part of a plea agreement. The defense seeks a probationary sentence for the 5.5-year prison sentence called for by state sentencing guidelines. Podolske is set to be sentenced in late October.
