On Sept. 9, 2021, the Wamego Police Department requested KBI assistance after Jayson Ebert, 21, was discovered dead on Sept. 5, 2021, in Wamego. Ebert died from an apparent fentanyl overdose.
On Tuesday morning, KBI agents arrested McKaine Farr, 20, for alleged distribution of a controlled substance causing great bodily harm or death. Farr was arrested and was then booked into the Pottawatomie County Jail.
According to investigators Farr knowingly distributed counterfeit oxycodone tablets laced with fentanyl that caused Ebert’s death.
