ST. LOUIS - Ledra A. Craig, age 43, of Wright City, Missouri, was charged by a federal complaint today with distribution of fentanyl.
According to the criminal complaint, investigators began conducting an overdose death investigation after a victim was found deceased in St. Charles, Missouri, on Aug. 2, 2020. The investigation uncovered surveillance video from the Ameristar Casino in St. Charles, showing Ledra A. Craig distributing fentanyl to two victims just hours before one victim was found dead. Craig later admitted to investigators that he sold fentanyl while at the Ameristar Casino in St. Charles over the weekend of August 1-2.
The Drug Enforcement Administration St. Louis Division and the St. Charles County Regional Drug Task Force are investigating these current charges.
A criminal complaint is merely an accusation. The defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
