Carrollton police arrested Lizbeth Prieto, 19, and Cristian Lopez, 24, in connection with the girl’s suspected fentanyl-related overdose death.
Carrollton police were called June 13 to the 1900 block of Sunridge Road, where officers found the girl — identified as “J.G.” in court records — unresponsive and face down on a bed, according to a criminal complaint. She was taken to Texas Health Presbyterian Plano, where she died.Officers found 10 blue counterfeit oxycodone pills labeled M30 on her dresser, court documents say. Police said the tablets tested positive for fentanyl.
Prieto then met the detective, handing over pills in exchange for marked currency. She went back to Lopez’s car afterward and exited it a short distance from the transaction. Police continued to watch Lopez, who was later stopped by officers in Dallas for an outstanding warrant. When officers searched him, they found five of the six marked bills the detective had given Prieto, the complaint says.
Lopez was arrested and told officers he gave Prieto counterfeit M30 pills, according to court documents. Officers tested the pills purchased by the detective, which were positive for fentanyl.On June 15, the detective reached out to Prieto again and asked to buy more pills. She agreed to meet with the detective in Plano, the complaint says, where she was arrested on an outstanding warrant.
In an interview with police, Prieto said that Lopez supplied her with counterfeit M30 pills and that she sold 12 pills to JG, the complaint says. She told officers she didn’t know the girl’s age but knew she was young.
