The Clackamas County Interagency Task Force (CCITF), in collaboration with federal law enforcement partners, led an investigation resulting in the arrest and conviction of a local fentanyl trafficker.
On February 7, 2024, Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to an apparent fentanyl overdose death of a woman. CCITF assisted in this investigation and investigators discovered she had been ordering fentanyl from multiple sources, including a dealer identified as “Puma Fetty.” While authorities could not determine the exact source of the drugs that contributed to the victim’s death, they continued their investigation into known suppliers.
On March 5, 2024, CCITF investigators arranged a controlled purchase of fentanyl from “Puma Fetty.” When Axcel Antonio Medina-Martinez, age 20, of Gresham, arrived to complete the transaction, he was taken into custody.
A search of his vehicle uncovered approximately 117 grams of fentanyl powder, a digital scale with drug residue, and two cell phones. Medina-Martinez admitted he was delivering the drugs for a friend. Medina-Martinez pleaded guilty on December 9, 2024, to federal charges of Possession with Intent to Distribute Fentanyl and has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release.
This case was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Oregon.
