Florida cops have arrested an alleged drug dealer they say sold the fentanyl-laced cocaine to several West Point cadets who overdosed during a spring break trip this week.
Axel Giovany Casseus, 21, was jailed Saturday in lieu of $50,000 bail.
After identifying Casseus, an undercover police officer was successfully able to purchase 43 grams of cocaine from him for $1,000, according to an arrest report.
While in custody, Casseus admitted to selling drugs to the West Point cadets and his phone contained correspondence with them, authorities said.
“Four cadets were taken to hospital. Of the six people involved, one person was not taken to hospital, and one was not a cadet. Five USMA cadets in total were involved. Two of the cadets remain hospitalized,” a West Point spokesman told news media on Saturday.
The school added the incident is “currently under investigation.” The students have not been identified, and it is unclear what disciplinary action they may face.
Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine, has become a leading cause of drug death in the United States, where it flows freely into the country through the southern border via Chinese chemical labs.
por black man, just trying to make a buck,, maybe blm will buy all their drugs from him.
Hey West Point cadets… way to f up your life and career just to get a high and act stupid.
So these are are up and coming military leaders ? Thats pretty scary! As far as the dealer goes why not feed him his own poison! He will probably go free because he’s black and his mommy didn’t hug him enough!
