The sheriff’s office, responding to a woman’s overdose death from fentanyl, kicked off the investigation on February 7, 2024. The interagency task force assisted in the investigation. Though authorities could not determine the exact source of the drugs that contributed to the woman’s death, they discovered she had been ordering fentanyl from multiple dealers, including from someone called “Puma Fetty.”
