PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A man who used two teenagers to help sell fentanyl was sentenced to more than three years in prison on Tuesday.
Olaf Lamont Johnson, 57, was convicted of multiple drug trafficking charges after he enlisted the help of a 16-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl to sell the drugs last year, the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office said.

The conviction comes after an investigation was conducted by the Portland Police Bureau back in 2024, culminating in detectives arranging for a purchase of fentanyl near Cascade Station.
“In late January of 2024, a Portland Police detective used the cell phone of a person who had overdosed and died to contact a fentanyl dealer. An agreement was reached to purchase the drug at Cascade Station. Once there, the police buyer received a call telling him a man with glasses was at the location and ready to sell him the drugs. The police buyer also received a call from a young, female voice saying she was there to sell him the drugs,” the Multnomah County DA’s Office said in a press release. “Police spotted and contacted Olaf Johnson at the location. He was in a Tahoe SUV. A 16-year-old male was in the front passenger seat, with a loaded firearm. A 14-year-old female was in the back seat. Police searched Johnson and found 100 pills that tested presumptive positive for fentanyl, and he also had packaging material.”…
