OAKLAND >> Federal prosecutors have charged an 18-year-old Alamo man with possessing fentanyl-laced M30 pills with the intent to distribute them, authorities said.

The charge, unsealed in federal court Tuesday, accuses the man of possessing 130 of the pills laced with fentanyl that he intended to distribute, according to Stephanie Hinds, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California.

At least one of those pills alleged to have been provided by the man were sold to someone else who died of an overdose, Hinds said.

The man made his first appearance in the U.S. District Court in Oakland on Tuesday.

According to Hinds, the maximum sentence —should the man be convicted — is 20 years in federal prison and a maximum fine of $250,000.
