A 74-year-old woman distributed the equivalent of 150,000 lethal doses of fentanyl in the mail, as part of a “side hustle” to pay for her own medications.
Patricia Parker, from Austin, Texas, sent more than 1,000 parcels suspected to be illegal drugs, according to authorities. She distributed counterfeit amphetamine pills containing fentanyl, though claims she did not know they had been laced with the synthetic opioid.
