The pills’ color and markings made them look like pharmaceutical oxycodone tablets. Tests determined the pills were counterfeit and contained fentanyl.
A Montgomery man was convicted today on federal charges that he sold fentanyl to a man who died after using the drug the same day.
Ross said the jury heard expert testimony stating that the quantity of fentanyl found in the victim’s blood was four to five times the lethal dose. Investigators obtained a search warrant for Coley’s residence and found 70 blue pills with “M” marked on one side, and “30″ on the opposite side.However, lab tests determined the pills were counterfeit and contained fentanyl instead of oxycodone.
In finding Coley guilty, the jury determined that the fentanyl sold by Coley to the victim caused his death and that Coley intended to distribute the fentanyl pills in his possession.
