Busted for passing Skittles as E

An undercover Dakota County Drug Task Force officer met Banks Dec. 22 in Apple Valley. Banks agreed to sell the undercover officer 21 ecstasy pills.

The St. Paul Police Department Crime Laboratory later identified two of the pills as ecstasy containing MDMA, a Schedule I controlled substance.

The undercover officer met Banks again on Dec. 30 in Apple Valley to purchase more ecstasy. Banks gave the officer 200 pills he claimed were ecstasy in exchange for $1,500. The 200 pills were later identified as Skittles candies.
