(WTAQ-WLUK) — An Appleton man convicted of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl was sentenced Monday to 15 years in federal prison.
Randy Mack, 36, was arrested after agents intercepted a UPS package in Dec. 2022 with approximately 56,000 fake Percocet pills containing fentanyl. The package was intended for Mack.
An investigation revealed Mack distributed, in total, nearly one million fentanyl pills in Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin.
In addition to sending them via UPS, Mack paid couriers to conceal the pills in carry-on luggage and transport them on commercial flights.
During an interview, Mack took credit for most of the fentanyl pills in the Fox Valley, stating, “There’s not a single pill in the Valley that doesn’t have my name on it.”
Officials say according to laboratory testing, seven out of every 10 pills seized by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) contain a lethal dose of fentanyl. In 2023, the DEA seized over 80 million fentanyl-laced counterfeit Percocet pills.
