O.C. drug dealer arrested in L.A. with 73K fentanyl pills, a gun and cash

On March 14, the OC Sheriff’s North Narcotics Team arrested a suspect known to have drug trafficking ties to Orange County.

The North Narcotics Team executed a search warrant at a residence in Los Angeles County and the evidence seized included 73,000 “M30” Fentanyl pills, a handgun, and $29,845 in suspected narcotics proceeds.

OC Sheriff Don Barnes had this to say about the drug seizure: “While I will continue the fight against fentanyl in the legislature, I am grateful for these dedicated investigators who are putting in the work, day in and day out, to pull these dangerous narcotics out of our community and hold traffickers accountable.”
