A Flower Mound man is facing a drug charge after federal investigators say he supplied drugs containing fentanyl to a juvenile who overdosed, officials with the Department of Justice said Friday.
"She told officers that there were crushed-up fentanyl pills near the nightstand in the room that she and Mr. Brinson shared and advised that Brinson had two safes in the bedroom. Inside one of the safes, Carrollton police officers found multiple bags containing more than 1,000 blue counterfeit M/30 pills that field tested positive for fentanyl," the DOJ said in a statement Friday.
Federal investigators said Brinson was also observed loading a large bag into his Lexus and driving to a parking lot where informants claimed he often conducted drug transactions. Without laboratory testing, there is no way to know how much fentanyl is concentrated in a pill or powder.Fentanyl remains the deadliest drug threat facing this country. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 107,622 Americans died of drug overdoses in 2021, with 66% of those deaths related to synthetic opioids like fentanyl.
