He was out of jail awaiting trial until this month when he was arrested with a stolen motorcycle. Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office deputies say they found drugs and a gun on him which as a convicted felon he was not supposed to have. The feds were already investigating Witt on a tip he transported 150,000 fentanyl pills from Phoenix to Albuquerque. Court documents show Witt admitted to Department of Homeland Security agents that he used and sold drugs.
