LI Man Indicted In Fatal Overdose, Sold Fentanyl Laced Pills: DA

EAST ISLIP, NY — An Islip Terrace man was indicted on Thursday for allegedly selling fentanyl-containing pills to a 25-year-old man, resulting in his death, Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney announced.

Jordan Mosley, 22, was arraigned before Acting Supreme Court Justice, the Honorable Richard I. Horowitz, officials said.

On Dec. 29, 2022, the body of a 25-year-old man was discovered at his East Islip residence after he died of an apparent drug overdose, officials said.

Through an investigation, detectives learned that the night before, Jordan Mosley, 22, allegedly sold the man pills, which he claimed were cocaine.

After the sale, Mosley offered to sell the victim more pills later the same night, prosecutors said.

The Suffolk County Medical Examiner later determined that the man died of the combined effects of fentanyl, xylazine, and bromazolam intoxication.

On Jan. 26, Mosley operated the same vehicle he used to allegedly deliver the pills to the man and was pulled over by a Suffolk County Police officer for overly dark tinted windows.

Inside that vehicle, police found felony weight cocaine, a digital scale, plastic bags, and 39 pills that had the same markings, shape, and color as oxycodone, but contained fentanyl.

They also discovered pills that had the same markings, shape, and color as alprazolam, but contained bromazolam – an uncontrolled substance that has a similar chemistry to alprazolam, prosecutors said.

He was also allegedly found with illegally possessing a loaded revolver on his waistband.

“Selling deadly fentanyl pills is no different than shooting a loaded gun in a crowded room and
the number of Suffolk County residents dying from drug overdoses every day is tragic,” said
District Attorney Tierney. “Our lawmakers need to help us. Young people are dying and we cannot
even ask for bail for fentanyl dealers until after someone dies. This is unconscionable.”

Mosley faces the following charges:

• One count of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance
• Four counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance (intent to sell)
• One count of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon
• Two counts of fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance
• One count of fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance
• One count of criminal possession of a firearm
• Two counts of second-degree criminal use of drug paraphernalia

Judge Horowitz ordered Mosley to be held on $100,000 cash, $250,000 bond or $750,000 partially
secured bond.

He is due back in court on June 13, 2023, and is being represented by Michaelangelo Matera, Esq.
