36-year-old Randy D. Mack was convicted of attempted possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. According to court records, agents intercepted a UPS package in December 2022 intended for Mack, which contained about 56,000 fake Percocet pills with fentanyl.
An investigation found that Mack had distributed nearly one million fentanyl pills in Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin. He paid off people to conceal the pills in luggage, transporting pills via commercial flights.
In an interview, Mack said, “There’s not a single pill in the (Fox) Valley that doesn’t have my name on it.”
According to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), counterfeit pills are commonly made by Mexican drug cartels and taken into the United States. In 2023 alone, the DEA confiscated over 80 million fake pills with traces of fentanyl.
The DEA and the drug unit from the Lake Winnebago Area Metropolitan Enforcement Group led the investigation of the case.
