Orange County, FL - Authorities have arrested a Florida man who allegedly sold pills falsely labeled as ADHD medication but were found to contain fentanyl.
The Orange County Sheriff's Department apprehended Jaquan Jones McCrary and charged him with trafficking fentanyl after McCrary allegedly sold pills falsely labeled as ADHD medication but found to contain the dangerous synthetic opioid.
During the arrest, deputies discovered 43-and-a-half orange tablets, weighing over 18 grams, that were believed to be linked to McCrary's illicit activities.
Adding to the gravity of the situation, McCrary had reportedly threatened to shoot at law enforcement officers in the past, going so far as to claim that their protective vests would be ineffective against a .223 rifle round.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office issued a warning to the public, urging vigilance when dealing with drug dealers.
The presence of fentanyl in counterfeit medication poses significant health risks and underscores the dangers of illegal drug transactions.
