U.S. Attorney Leigha Simonton discusses an arrest related to a recent spate of overdose deaths among teens in Carrollton.The man authorities say was the source of the fentanyl that contributed to three teens' deaths in Carrollton and seven more overdoses over the past six months has been arrested.
During a news conference, Leigha Simonton, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, said Villanueva was the “main source of supply in the Carrollton juvenile overdose cases.” Simonton also said that Villanueva “worked through a juvenile dealer” to supply pills to Navarrete and Cano. Each of the victims was between the ages of 13 and 17.
Following the arrest of Navarrete and Cano last week, Villanueva allegedly posted this message to one of the social media accounts that authorities were monitoring: “Only thing that’s gonna stop us is feds.”
