A San Jose drug dealer has been arrested and charged after a group of Los Gatos High School students overdosed on fentanyl-laced pills that they purchased from him, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office.
The investigation into Armendariz began when Santa Clara police responded to a report of a 15-year-old girl who had overdosed in a bathroom during a Narcotics Anonymous meeting, the district attorney's office said. The pill, identified as a counterfeit Percocet pill laced with fentanyl, was traced back to Armendariz.
"There were four victims that were minors at the time," Deputy District Attorney Eunice Lee said."We believe that the evidence will show that defendant Armendariz was selling and furnishing drugs through various areas of downtown Los Gatos, including the high school and a church." Lee pointed out Armendariz was already on probation for an undisclosed conviction at the time he was arrested, adding that he has an extensive criminal history.
