“Operation Lucky 777′s” resulted in the seizure of large quantities of fentanyl, cocaine, meth, marijuana products, cash and illegal guns.
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody attended a news conference held Wednesday afternoon by the Sheriff’s Office to discuss the results of “Operation Lucky 777s,” which resulted in the seizure of large quantities of fentanyl, cocaine, meth, marijuana products, cash and illegal guns.
According to the arrest reports, the drug investigation began when the Sheriff’s Office received information about the DTO exploiting the U.S. Postal Service. The reports state that Setzer and Mercado were using the Postal Service to receive kilo quantities of meth, cocaine and fentanyl from California.
Setzer and Mercado are both no strangers to narcotic investigators. In 2001, Setzer was sentenced to four years in prison after he was convicted of trafficking ecstasy and cocaine. In 1999, he was convicted of possessing more than 20 grams of marijuana. He also had other previous drug arrest charges that were dropped.
