FLOWER MOUND, Texas - A fentanyl dealer known as "Steve-O" to his clients, pleaded guilty to federal drug charges, admitting to selling the drugs out of his Flower Mound home. 18-year-old Stephen Brinson was charged in March, and on Tuesday he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute a Schedule II controlled substance. Brinson used an Instagram account to sell the round blue pills, marked with an M/30 to make them look like oxycodone pills. At the time of his arrest, federal investigators said Brinson was a major supplier of the deadly fentanyl-laced pills that were used by middle and high school students in Carrollton.
