A man who reportedly tried to smuggle heroin and hydrocodone into Juneau on a flight from Seattle was indicted Wednesday by a Juneau grand jury on two counts of second-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance — heroin and hydrocodone. He was arraigned in Juneau Superior Court on Friday.

Harold Maurice Greenlee, 48, was stopped after he arrived in Juneau on July 3 and search warrants were executed on Greenlee and his luggage. Searchers reportedly found 50 grams of suspected black tar heroin inside hair gel containers, as well as 341 pills containing varying dosages of hydrocodone and acetaminophen, in his bag.

Greenlee reportedly said he is from Juneau but could not provide his address; he had a Michigan ID and a Pennsylvania phone number. He has a prior in-state conviction for bringing hydrocodone and cocaine into town through the mail, according to court records online.
