A man already facing three felony drug charges for allegedly trafficking heroin into Flathead Valley is now facing two more.

The Flathead County Attorney’s Office filed an additional count last week against Kyle Joseph Jacobs, 26, for felony possession of dangerous drugs with intent to distribute and felony possession of dangerous drugs.

According to court documents Jacobs was arrested on Sept. 7 by Northwest Drug Task Force agents on misdemeanor warrants.

He was allegedly found to have $1,700 in his pocket, along with suspected heroin. When interviewed, Jacobs allegedly admitted to trafficking large quantities of heroin into the Flathead Valley. He allegedly confessed that the $1,700 in his pocket was the profit from selling five grams of heroin.

The suspected heroin was sent to the Montana State Crime Lab for analysis.

The new charges resulted from a May 25 incident in which Jacobs’ residence was searched after the Northwest Drug Task Force received information he might be a drug trafficker. Seventeen grams of suspected heroin was allegedly found and sent to the Montana State Crime Lab for analysis.

Authorities had already charged Jacobs with three felony counts of distribution of dangerous drugs in September. Those charges resulted after Jacobs was documented by law enforcement allegedly selling a gram of heroin on three different occasions in Flathead County on May 17 and May 19.

Each transaction was worth between $270 and $300.

Jacobs is being held in the Flathead County Detention Center.
