According to court documents, Harvey sold the meth on Sept. 11 to a confidential informant while officers with the Rexburg Police Department watched and listened through a wire. The sale took place at the Conoco gas station on University Boulevard.

Sgt. Issac Payne, spokesman for the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, told EastIdahoNews.com law enforcement arrested Harvey on March 30 in Oregon.
