Earlier today, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Massachusetts declared that Melvin Antonio Perez Medina pleaded guilty to participating in a fentanyl trafficking conspiracy, as stated in their official website.
A federal grand jury had indicted Perez Medina, including his alleged accomplices, Fraily Rodriguez Morillo, and Manuel Fredis Guerrero Guzman in November 2022. Court documents disclose that the group conspired to disperse fentanyl and fentanyl analogue in the areas of Lawrence, Woburn, Wilmington, and Andover between March and August 2022.
Perez Medina was caught in August 2022 in possession of nearly two kilograms of fentanyl and a fentanyl analogue hidden in a cereal box. He is awaiting his sentencing hearing set for January 18, 2024, according to the US Department of Justice.
