Suspected drug dealer Alfonso Gomez-Santana has been charged with several felonies for possessing enough fentanyl to kill 12 million people, nearly four times the population of Orange County.
"It is unconscionable that someone who has the ability to kill 12 million people is facing just a handful of years in jail," saidDistrict Attorney Todd Spitzer. "Fentanyl is a national epidemic that killed more than 100,000 Americans last year and it’s not going to stop unless we have the tools as prosecutors to hold these drug dealers and drug manufacturers accountable for peddling death.
Every parent in America should be petrified that one day they are going to walk into their child’s bedroom and find them dead because their child thought they were experimenting with recreational drugs and instead drug dealers sold them a deadly dose of fentanyl. This is not fear-mongering; this is reality – and if we don’t start strengthening penalties for drug dealers it’s going to be the reality for you or someone you love.
