‘Puma Fetty’ dealt fentanyl to officers investigating woman’s overdose

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A Gresham drug dealer known as “Puma Fetty” was sentenced to a year and a half in federal prison after selling fentanyl to undercover law enforcement officers, authorities said.

The arrest and conviction of 20-year-old Axcel Antonio Medina-Martinez comes after the Clackamas County Interagency Task Force completed an investigation with federal law enforcement partners, the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office said.

The sheriff’s office, responding to a woman’s overdose death from fentanyl, kicked off the investigation on February 7, 2024. The interagency task force assisted in the investigation. Though authorities could not determine the exact source of the drugs that contributed to the woman’s death, they discovered she had been ordering fentanyl from multiple dealers, including from someone called “Puma Fetty.”

The CCITF investigators then “arranged a controlled purchase of fentanyl from ‘Puma Fetty'” on March 5, 2024, the sheriff’s office said in a press release. When Medina-Martinez arrived to carry out the transaction, he was taken into custody, officials said.

“A search of his vehicle uncovered approximately 117 grams of fentanyl powder, a digital scale with drug residue, and two cell phones,” the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office said. “Medina-Martinez admitted he was delivering the drugs for a friend.”

On December 9 of last year, Medina-Martinez pleaded guilty to a federal charge of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison and three years of supervised release.
