A Columbia Falls man who received a deferred sentence earlier this year for possessing fentanyl is facing time in custody after he allegedly continued his drug use and failed to complete a drug treatment program.

Alexandr Shestak, 54, was originally charged with two felony counts of possession of dangerous drugs and one misdemeanor count of possession of drug paraphernalia after a traffic stop in the Eureka area in the summer of 2022.

He later pleaded guilty to possessing dangerous drugs and received a 3-year deferred sentence in Lincoln County District Court.
