“I will not tolerate anyone who endangers the lives of our residents,” Sheriff Kevin Rambosk said. “The synthetic opioid fentanyl is one of the biggest dangers facing our country. I’ve made it a priority to raise awareness about this drug while also getting it out of Collier County.”

 

Esteban Perez, Jr., of Sarasota, was arrested after he was found with 987 fentanyl pills weighing a combined 119.2 grams. The FDA estimates one kilo of fentanyl can kill 500,000 people.

 

At around 9:30 p.m. Saturday, a CCSO patrol deputy witnessed Perez driving a vehicle and fail to stop when entering a roadway. The deputy made a traffic stop and detected a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle.

 

A search of the vehicle turned up the fentanyl pills, plus cocaine, amphetamine, methamphetamine, marijuana, synthetic cannabinoid, and narcotic paraphernalia. Perez was arrested and charged with trafficking in fentanyl, plus five more felonies for drug possession.
