'Deadliest Catch' employee facing drug charges
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Police in the Alaska fishing town of Unalaska say a production manager for the hit cable TV show "Deadliest Catch" who bragged about his ability to deliver large amounts of cocaine is facing felony drug charges.
Police say 22-year-old Matthew Schneider delivered about $300 worth of cocaine to an undercover officer on March 20.
Court documents say Schneider talked about large amounts of cocaine from California being distributed at "Deadliest Catch" parties in Unalaska.
He is one of 18 people charged in the investigation, and the only one connected to the show.
Schneider is not in custody and police don't know his whereabouts.
