KALKASKA — A Kalkaska Township man was arrested after a two-year drug trafficking investigation.
Kurt David Bell, 42, is charged with six felonies after authorities discovered heroin, morphine, methadone and firearms at his Tamara Street home during a search. Members of the Kalkaska County Sheriff’s Department and Traverse Narcotics Team took part in the search.
Bell was arraigned and remains in the Kalkaska County Jail on a $750,000 cash bond. Anyone with information about Bell’s activities — or other suspected illegal drug activities — can contact TNT at (231) 922-0993.
