FALL RIVER — A routine patrol in the city’s Corky Row neighborhood culminated in a significant drug bust late last week, resulting in the seizure of fentanyl, crack cocaine, and cash, alongside the arrest of a local man facing multiple felony charges.
According to the Fall River Police Department , members of the Community Action & Suppression Team (CAST) were conducting patrols on October 10, 2026, when officers spotted a gray Toyota Tundra that drew their attention.
Investigators initiated a motor vehicle stop following a brief observation. During the stop, the front-seat passenger—identified as Keyante Mills Sr.—reportedly became uncooperative and instructed the vehicle’s driver to flee from the scene.
Authorities successfully secured the scene and conducted a subsequent search. The investigation yielded:
- Approximately 11.34 grams of suspected fentanyl
- Approximately 9.83 grams of suspected crack cocaine
- $673 in cash
Mills was taken into custody and is now facing a string of serious charges, including:
- Trafficking in more than 10 grams of fentanyl
- Possession of a Class B substance with intent to distribute
- Assault and battery on a police officer
- Resisting arrest
Note: All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
