United States Attorney Nick Hanna spoke on the revelation, saying, “These defendants allegedly continued to sell narcotics after Mr. McCormick’s death with full knowledge of the risks their products posed to human life.” One of the three men, 28-year-old Cameron Pettit, reportedly gave Miller counterfeit pills that were laced with fentanyl, which allegedly contributed to his passing.
Hanna continued saying, “It has become increasingly common for us to see drug dealers peddling counterfeit pharmaceuticals made with fentanyl. As a consequence, fentanyl is now the No. 1 cause of overdose deaths in the United States.” Pettit along with the other two men are currently being held without bail, and their trial date has been set for November 16, 2021.
