A Hollywood man has been arrested for allegedly selling Mac Miller fentanyl-laced pills just days before the rapper’s fatal drug overdose last year, federal prosecutors said.
Cameron James Pettit, 28, was arrested and charged Wednesday with one count of distribution of a controlled substance for allegedly providing Miller with counterfeit oxycodone pills on Sept. 5, 2018, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The pills, authorities allege, contained lethal amounts of fentanyl, which is 50 times more potent than heroin.
Miller, 26, was discovered unresponsive in his Studio City home two days after buying the pills, prosecutors said. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner determined he’d had an accidental overdose on alcohol, cocaine, and fentanyl, authorities said.
