Dealer pleads guilty to selling fentanyl-laced pills

A San Diego man pleads guilty to selling deadly fentanyl-laced pills.

Christopher James Stracuzzi entered that plea today in San Diego federal court.

Stracuzzi sold pills that were supposed to be oxycontin to a couple in July of 2018 . The pills were actually counterfeits containing fentanyl .

A man overdosed and died less than a half-hour after taking just one of the pills.

A judge will sentence Stracuzzi in December. He faces a minimum of 20-years in prison, and a maximum of life behind bars.
