FARMINGTON — The state dismissed a drug trafficking charge against a Phillips man Feb. 2 because of insufficient evidence, according to a court document.
Scott A. Pinkham, 53, was arrested in September 2019 and charged with selling suspected heroin/fentanyl, after Franklin County deputies investigated a person found unconscious Aug. 30, 2019, in Strong. Deputies used naloxone, also known as Narcan, an anti-opioid medication, to revive the person, according to Sheriff Scott Nichols Sr.’s news release in 2019.
Assistant Attorney General David Fisher signed the dismissal document.
