SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. -- A 30-year-old Gering man was arrested after unknowingly leaving narcotics behind at a gas station.

On May 18th, around 3:40 p.m. Scottsbluff Police were called to the Smoker Friendly/Gasamat gas station building in reference to a suspected dropped narcotic.

Employees at the building called to report narcotics left in the building.

Police reviewed the security footage and reported that 30-year-old DJ Gibbons from Gering was the only individual who was in the building before the employee located the narcotics.

Police reported finding 17 fentanyl pills and a plastic package of methamphetamine in the package left in the building.
