Dealer sold to undercover agents in Whitefish bar, court docs say

A man who allegedly arranged the sale of cocaine to a pair of undercover agents of the state Division of Criminal Investigation in Whitefish in October 2023 is facing a drug distribution charge in Flathead County District Court.  

Daniel Jesse Rosas, 63, is expected to appear before Judge Dan Wilson on Jan. 23 for his arraignment on one felony count of criminal distribution of dangerous drugs. He remains in the county jail with bail set at $75,000.  

Prosecutors alleged in charging documents that Rosas set up drug deals with two members of the Northwest Drug Task Force in a Whitefish bar about 11:15 p.m., Oct. 31, 2023. One of the agents agreed to buy a gram of cocaine, which Rosas handed over, according to court documents. He then allegedly took payment for the drugs.
