AUSTIN (KXAN) — A 26-year-old woman was arrested last week after she allegedly sold fentanyl to a man in October 2024, resulting in his death, according to the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office.
On Oct. 6, 2024, the agency said on social media WCSO Organized Crime Unit responded to “alleged overdose death” call at a residence on Morningside Circle in Hutto. WCSO found 30-year-old Michael Ackerman in his bedroom.
WCSO conducted “a thorough and lengthy investigation,” which determined 26-year-old Crystal Perez “sold fentanyl to Mr. Ackerman, which resulted in his death,” WCSO said. She was arrested and is currently in the Williamson County Jail on a $1 million bond.
KXAN has reached out to Perez’s attorney. We will update this if a statement is received.
“This arrest marks the tenth arrest for the Organized Crime Unit related to fentanyl induced murder. The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office Organized Crime Unit is dedicated to the fight against fentanyl,” WCSO said.
The agency said “those involved in the distribution and sale of illicit narcotics in Williamson County will be found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
No other details were available Tuesday.
