SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – A Pacific Beach resident who pleaded guilty to federal drug charges for selling fentanyl powder that caused a man’s overdose death was sentenced today to 15 years in prison.
Maya Kol, 42, admitted buying fentanyl that he initially believed was cocaine, which he later sold to several people despite trying the substance and becoming ill himself, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Lawrence Casper, Criminal Opioid Coordinator and Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of California, joined KUSI’s Logan Byrnes to discuss San Diego’s growing trend of fentanyl deaths.
On Sept. 7, 2018, Kol delivered a half-gram of the powder to victims identified only as J.E., J.H. and L.S. and told them it was cocaine, prosecutors said. Later that day, L.S. contacted Kol, asking for help. When Kol arrived at an apartment shared by L.S. and J.H., all three victims were unresponsive.
