Miggins not charged with attempted murder after buyer overdosed
St Lucie County, Fl- A plea deal has been reached in what was a first-of-its-kind case in St. Lucie County. Accused drug dealer Rebecca Miggins was charged with attempted murder after a buyer overdosed in 2017.
The sheriff’s office said Miggins sold straight fentanyl to a man. He then OD’d in a Fort Pierce motel and left without offering any help.
Miggins has since agreed to a 13-year prison term and will not face the attempted murder charge.
Florida is one of 20 states where it is a crime to provide or help obtain drugs that cause a death. Miggins could have been sentenced to 81 years in prison. She pleaded guilty to the sale and delivery of fentanyl and heroin and tampering with evidence.
Fentanyl is so dangerous, that when Miggins was brought in to the jail, it was discovered the seat tested positive for fentanyl and had to be removed from the patrol car.
