Maryland men charged with trafficking fentanyl into Connecticut
A federal grand jury in Hartford indicted 34-year-old Oscar Flores of Mount Rainier, and 25-year-old Severo Alelar of Hyattsville.
Flores and Alelar are charged with conspiracy to distribute with possession with intent to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl.
Investigators found numerous Nerds candy boxes and Skittles candy bags containing thousands of fentanyl pills.
"Trafficking fentanyl is already and undoubtedly a serious offense, but one doesn’t have to stretch their imagination too far to consider how disguising fentanyl pills in children’s candy packaging, as we allege, can result in even more tragic consequences in the community," said Vanessa Roberts Avery, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut.
