A Florida suspect has been arrested for allegedly selling fentanyl pills disguised as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication, authorities say.
Jaquan Jones McCrary was charged with trafficking of fentanyl, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
“McCrary was selling these pills as ADHD medication, but they were actually fentanyl,” the Orange County Sheriff’s Office wrote in Facebook post.
The sheriff’s office posted a picture of dozens of light orange pills. They found over 40 tablets weighing in excess of 18 grams.
