A man out of Perry County is now facing a potential life sentence, following his indictment on drug and gun charges in federal court.

49-year-old Benjamin Todd Mobelini, of Viper, was indicted on four-counts of meth distribution, possession with the intent to distribute a mixture of meth and fentanyl, and two-counts of felon in possession of a firearm in a drug-trafficking offense. The combination of both drug and gun charges means Mobelini faces a possible sentence of life in prison- if convicted.

Mobelini was arrested in January of this year when a state trooper recognized him during a traffic stop as being wanted for a parole violation. Both meth and fentanyl were discovered within the car at the time of the arrest.
