Anadarko Couple Faces Drug Trafficking, Murder Allegations

Caddo County Residents Accused of Fentanyl Distribution Leading to Death

ANADARKO, Okla. (Apr. 29, 2023) –

A Caddo County couple is moving towards judgment on allegations of drug trafficking and selling fentanyl-laced drugs that killed a man. The couple was arrested and charged with multiple drug-related offenses, including trafficking in illegal drugs, possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute, and conspiracy to distribute a controlled dangerous substance.

The arrest and charges come after a joint investigation by the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (OBNDD) and the Caddo County Sheriff’s Office. During the investigation, authorities conducted search warrants at multiple residences and seized a significant amount of illegal drugs, including fentanyl.

The charges against the couple are the result of a months-long investigation that began after the death of a man who overdosed on fentanyl. Investigators believe the couple sold the victim the drugs that led to his death.

The couple is currently being held in the Caddo County Jail. They are scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on May 5, 2023.
