An 18-year-old man is in custody after sending a random text message asking if the recipient wanted to purchase drugs. The text message was received by Flagler County Commissioner Joe Mullins who reached out to the sheriff’s office after being asked if he wanted to purchase an “eight-ball” of cocaine.
The sheriff’s department went undercover to purchase the drugs from the man and found that he had a bag filled with 3.17 grams of fentanyl, enough to potentially kill 1,585 people.
He is facing two charges, unlawful use of a two-way communications device as well as a felony possession of fentanyl with intent to distribute.
