Navy seaman sold fellow sailor fentanyl-laced Percocet that led to his death — then tried to cover it up, feds say Seaman Bailey Szramowski, 27, knew the pills were laced, but sold them to at least two shipmates anyway, according to federal investigators.
A U.S. Navy seaman is accused of pulling double duty as a shipboard drug dealer while serving on the San Diego-based nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, only getting caught after a batch of bogus Percocet tainted with fentanyl killed a fellow sailor.
Ten days after A.N.’s death, a second sailor stationed onboard the USS Lincoln was rushed to the hospital following an apparent OD, the complaint goes on.
It says first responders successfully revived the sailor, who is identified in the complaint as “C.L.,” with Narcan, a prescription nasal spray used to counteract opioid overdoses.
The victim, identified in court filings only as “A.N.,” was on leave at the time, staying in an RV parked outside his aunt and uncle’s house in the San Francisco Bay Area.
