(WFCN) — A guy from Appleton who was found guilty of having fentanyl with the intent to distribute it was given a 15-year federal prison sentence on Monday.
Randy Mack, 36, was taken into custody when authorities detained a UPS shipment in December 2022 that included over 56,000 fentanyl-laced counterfeit Percocet tablets. Mack was supposed to get the package.
According to an investigation, Mack supplied around a million fentanyl tablets in Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin combined.
Mack paid couriers to hide the tablets in carry-on bags and fly them on commercial aircraft in addition to shipping them via UPS.
Saying, “There’s not a single pill in the Valley that doesn’t have my name on it,” Mack claimed responsibility for the majority of the fentanyl pills found in the Fox Valley during an interview.
