Mac Miller’s Alleged Drug Dealer Arrested And Charged
Man Arrested For Selling Drugs To Mac Miller
Mac Miller reportedly died of an apparent drug overdose. The Pittsburgh-native was found motionless in his San Fernando Valley home by law enforcement officials who pronounced him dead on the spot.
Authorities were responding to a 911 call from friend of Miller’s who’d been staying at his residence.

Miller’s substance abuse issues following his breakup with pop magnate Ariana Grandehave been widely documented, and were the focus of his last album. He was set to embark on a North American Tour with J.I.D and Thundercat before giving up the ghost.
Cameron James Pettit was arrested on Wednesday after authorities claimed he provided Mac Miller with the drugs that inevitably took the rapper’s life.
Mac Miller was found dead nearly a year ago on September 7, 2018, at his home in Studio City, an incident that a coroner would later report resulted from a tragic accidental overdose of alcohol, cocaine, and fentanyl.
After a year of investigation, authorities were led to Pettit’s door, as they claim the 28-year-old is the person responsible for giving Miller artificial oxycodone pills that were laced with fentanyl.
According to court documents, not long after Miller’s death, a friend of Pettit’s asked how he was feeling. He reportedly said, “I am not great…Most likely I will die in jail.” Pettit has been charged with a single count of distribution of a controlled substance.
There have been questions whether or not people who provide or sell drugs to overdose victims should be held responsible for subsequent deaths. According to NPR, U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna stated that “Fentanyl disguised as a genuine pharmaceutical is a killer.”

“Drugs laced with cheap and potent fentanyl are increasingly common, and we owe it to the victims and their families to aggressively target the drug dealers that cause these overdose deaths.”
According to reports, If Pettit is found guilty, he faces up to 20 years imprisonment.
