OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. – A 57-year-old woman was arrested in connection to a drug bust at her Oakland County home, officials said.
Members of the county’s Narcotics Enforcement Team (NET) investigated the case for two months before serving a search warrant at the woman’s home on Lyndon in Oakland Township on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025.
During the search, detectives seized 1,153 pressed methamphetamine pills that looked like Adderall, 22 morphine pills and $37,217 in cash, according to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office.
“The saying we have, ‘one pill can kill,’ comes directly from situations like this,” said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard. “You have a pill press pressing drugs into the form of something they are not. They in fact contain totally different drugs which may be fatal. In this case, there were pills that looked like Adderall, but were in fact were methamphetamine.”
Bouchard said the case will likely be turned over to prosecutors on Friday, Jan. 10, and the woman could be arraigned as soon as Saturday, Jan. 11.
“As a result of these situations we have seen young people that thought they were buying Adderall to help them study, in fact got fentanyl or other drugs and died from one pill,” Bouchard said. “People like this are literally selling a Russian roulette pill and need to be held accountable.”
