Martin County, FL – In a significant blow to the local drug trade, a joint law enforcement effort has successfully apprehended a transient drug dealer known for his elusive operations across the Treasure Coast.

Beaubrun, who had been peddling fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine, was caught in the act of selling substantial quantities of drugs to undercover officers. The arrest saw the seizure of 1,110 grams of Fentanyl and 1,056 grams of cocaine, highlighting the vast scale of his operation. This operation was part of a broader initiative to combat the surge in fentanyl distribution in the area, a crisis increasingly linked to the drugs’ accessibility from across the southern border.
