Fatal Fentanyl Overdose Prompts Charges Against Accused Supplier
A Laguna Hills, Calif. man is facing federal charges for allegedly supplying the fentanyl that led to a fatal drug overdose in March.
The 26-year-old was arrested May 12 after his fingerprints were found on the victim’s parcel of drugs, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) said May 18.
“We will continue to attack the epidemic on all fronts [and] hold those accountable that are supplying these narcotics in the community,” OCSD spokesperson Todd Hylton told The Epoch Times.
The victim, whose name has not been released, recently moved from Orange County to Utah to enroll in a drug rehabilitation program. He died in March after being sent a parcel of drugs containing fentanyl, police said.
