An admitted fentanyl trafficker who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute has been sentenced to more than eight years in federal prison, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice. Stephen Paul Brinson, 18, was sentenced Wednesday. In his plea, Brinson admitted to dealing counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl out of a home in Flower Mound, according to the news release. He used an Instagram account to sell the round, blue pill imprinted with 'M/30' to resemble legitimate 30 milligram oxycontin pills.
