David Busse, a Temecula resident and former Riverside County firefighter, admitted to selling a fatal dose of fentanyl to San Diego father Brook Jacoby
A former Riverside County firefighter who became addicted to drugs after a training injury was sentenced Friday to more than 17 years in federal prison for selling a deadly dose of fentanyl to a San Diego father.
According to records in the case, San Diego police officers found Jacoby dead from an overdose at the kitchen table of his San Diego apartment. According to prosecutors, Jacoby had an 11-month-old daughter at the time and had proposed to his girlfriend five days earlier. After discovering the messages between the two men, investigators used Jacoby’s phone to set up another drug purchase from Busse, according to court records. When Lathan and Santiago showed up to once again deliver the drugs, authorities arrested them.
Lathan was a preschool teacher at the time with no prior criminal record, has completed drug rehabilitation and is due to give birth to a daughter next month, her attorney wrote in a sentencing memorandum urging a home-confinement sentence. “Unfortunately, Mr. Busse’s dream job was cut short in 2014,” his attorney wrote. “During a training exercise, the roof gave way and Mr. Busse fell nearly three stories on his back.”
