PSLPD Detectives Arrest Fentanyl Drug Dealer 

“Special Investigation Detectives initiated an investigation into Matthew Albritton after receiving information that he was selling oxycodone pills in Port St. Lucie. The investigation revealed that Albritton was actually selling counterfeit oxycodone pills that contained fentanyl.

Counterfeit pills appear identical to legitimate prescription pills but contain different ingredients such as fentanyl, which can be deadly. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. It is a major contributor to fatal and nonfatal overdoses.

PSLPD Detectives along with the United States Marshals Service Task Force arrested Albritton, 40 years old, for 2 counts of possession of fentanyl, 2 counts of sale and delivery of fentanyl, and 2 counts of unlawful use of a two way communication device. The investigation continues….”
