At least two suspects have been charged after authorities intercepted a parcel of 5,000 fentanyl pills that had been shipped from California to Maryland.
Designed to look like OxyContin pills, the pills were intended to be sold and distributed illegally, according to a Friday press release from Maryland's Charles County Sheriff's Office."During the investigation, which began in November 2022, detectives intercepted a parcel at a private shipping company that was delivered from the State of California and contained 5,000 fentanyl pills," the release read.
Two suspects, Quecealla Turner, 22, of Waldorf, and Marvin Anthony Bussie, 20, of Oxon Hill, were identified by authorities in connection to the shipping and receiving of the parcel. A multi-agency task force recovered 5,000 Fentanyl pills shipped from the State of California to Waldorf, MD.

Officials served Turner her indictment, while Bussie, who was listed with an open warrant via the Drug Enforcement Administration relating to the transportation of 12,000 fentanyl pills in 2022, was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force."Fentanyl is extremely dangerous in the hands of dealers who often disguise what it is. We are committed to dismantling the networks that traffic dangerous narcotics," Charles County Sheriff Troy Berry said.
"We especially want to recognize the partnerships between the assisting law enforcement agencies who helped in the recovery of these dangerous pills. ... These arrests reflect successful teamwork among local, state, and federal agencies."
