Grand Rapids Man Sentenced In Heroin Bust
A 20-year-old Grand Rapids man was sentenced to more than eight years in prison Monday in connection with a heroin bust in Itasca County earlier this year.
As recommended by the prosecutor, the court sentenced Joshua Morgan Hunter to 103 months in prison and 10 years supervised probation in connection with the crime.
According to the criminal complaint, Hunter and two other men were arrested in March 2016 after officers stopped their vehicle and seized about 130 grams of heroin from the trunk. The arrest was the result of a continuing investigation by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
Hunter previously pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree conspiracy to commit a controlled substance crime.

Lol get your facts strait….or tell the whole story like how Josh did some jail time was released to inpatient which he wanted and needed more then jail at the time and when Hes done he returns to jail to finish sentence which will be another 6 months. The 8 years will only be done if he messes up again. This is a kid with no criminal background who got messed up in an addictive drug and some not so great friends. He was struggling to get off the drug and change his life when he made a mistake. Does not make him a bad person!! Josh is the lindess sweetest true honest kid I know who has actually learnt from his mistakes unlike many and is using all the respuexess he can to get well and better his life which has just begun. Hang on there Josh!! Your doing great lil buddy!!!
I agree with stacje. I know this kid on a personal level. He is like a little brother to me. And one of the nicest guys I know. Quit making him out to seem like sone scary criminal mastermind. People just get caught up sometimes. And at least he understands his mistake abd is tryin to learn from it and better himself.
This kid’s a little punk and got what he deserves. Lmao.
