Accused Fentanyl Trafficker Extradited From Honduras to Oregon
(Portland, OR) -- A Honduran national is back in Oregon to face federal charges for distributing fentanyl in the Portland area. Orbin Velasquez Layaire was arraigned in federal court in Portland Thursday, on a charge of conspiracy to distribute fentanyl. He fled to Honduras early last year, during a D.E.A. investigation. He was arrested in Honduras in June and extradited to Oregon this week. Velasquez Layaire pleaded not guilty at arraignment and remains jailed, pending his October 8th trial.
