NORTH TEXAS ( KWTX ) - Stephen Paul Brinson, a.k.a 'Steve-O,' 18, is facing up to 40 years in federal prison after he pleaded guilty on May 30 to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance, said Leigha Simonton, the U.S. attorney for the northern district of Texas. Brinson, an admitted fentanyl trafficker, was responsible for distributing thousands of counterfeit pills across North Texas out of a home in Flower Mound, Simonton said. The teenager used an Instagram account to facilitate the sale of the round blue pills, which were imprinted 'M/30″ to resemble legitimate 30mg oxycodone pills.
