Oakland County Woman Arrested In Undercover Drug Bust: Sheriff

OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, MI — A 57-year-old Oakland Township woman is in trouble after police found tens of thousands of dollars in cash and narcotics at her home, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.

Undercover agents with the Narcotics Enforcement Team arrested the woman after they seized 1,153 pressed methamphetamine pills resembling Adderall, 22 morphine pills and $37,217 in cash from her home on Lyndon in Oakland Township, according to the sheriff's office.

"The saying we have, 'one pill can kill,' comes directly from situations like this," Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. "You have a pill press pressing drugs into the form of something they are not. They in fact contain totally different drugs which may be fatal. In this case, there were pills that looked like Adderall, but were in fact were methamphetamine."

Officials are expected to turn over their findings to the prosecutor's office who can announce charges as soon as Saturday.

"As result of these situations we have seen young people that thought they were buying Adderall to help them study, in fact got fentanyl or other drugs and died from one pill," Bouchard said. "People like this are literally selling a Russian roulette pill and need to be held accountable."
