WILTON MANORS, Fla. — Two months after a group of Spring Breakers, including West Point cadets, overdosed on fentanyl-laced cocaine, the Lauderhill man accused of selling them the potentially lethal drugs has been indicted on federal charges, court records show.
Axel “Gee” Casseus, 21, was indicted on two counts of distribution of a controlled substance on May 5 for allegedly selling the laced cocaine to the Spring Breakers on March 10 and for selling $1,000 worth of cocaine to an undercover officer on March 11, according to the indictment.
The charge stemming from the March 10 overdoses carries a higher possible penalty — life in prison with a mandatory minimum of 20 years in prison. The maximum penalty for the second charge stemming from the undercover sale carries a maximum punishment of 20 years in prison, the indictment says.
