Flower Mound, 18, was accused of supplying fentanyl pills to teenage dealers.

CARROLTON, Texas – The 18-year-old suspect faces federal charges for supplying fentanyl pills to drug dealers and children in North Texas.

Steven Paul Brinson is charged with conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance.

Police became aware of his possible involvement after the arrest of Donovan Andrews earlier this month.

“I think it provided insight into what the DEA has known for a very long time,” said Eduardo Chavez, the DEA special agent in charge. “There is a fentanyl problem across the country and in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.”

Federal investigators arrested Brinson on Wednesday, describing him as a major supplier of the lethal fentanyl pills used by middle and high school students in Carrollton.

“Mr. Brinson had, we believe, thousands of pills in addition to other drugs and weapons,” Chavez said.

Court documents say Brinson was the supplier of Donovan Andrews and the 17-year-old Hebron High School student arrested last week.

Investigators believe Andrews is responsible for the overdose of two Hebron high school students.

Cooperating witnesses led federal investigators to Brinson, according to court documents, Brinson was described as a “plug”.

“He’s responsible for most of the distribution in this area,” Chavez said. “But there’s always more, and our investigation will continue.”

Investigators said Brinson had been distributing drugs from his home in Flower Mound and from a nearby movie theater parking lot since October last year.

The text message shows a conversation between another suspect directing the person to the Superstarxs Instagram account that investigators said was run by Brinson.

On March 2, investigators took a picture allegedly showing Brinson selling drugs in a car outside his home.

On Wednesday, Carrollton police and federal investigators received a search warrant for Brinson’s home in Flower Mound. It is said that before they entered the house, Brinson put his bag in the trunk and drove a mile to the parking lot of a movie theater where he allegedly sold pills.

Brinson was arrested in this parking lot, and the police found a pistol and an AR-15 in the car.

The house of Brinson’s parents was not at home. Instead, investigators found his girlfriend. They say she was “under the influence” of fentanyl.

According to police, Mia Havanna James Morgan allegedly told investigators that there were pills in a bag next to the nightstand. Morgan also told investigators where two safes were located.

During the search, investigators found a note from Brinson’s parents. The to-do list said, “Don’t meet people in front of the house or in front of the house.”

When police questioned the parents, they said they knew their son was a drug addict but did not know that he was a drug dealer.

Investigators say that when they questioned Brinson, he “claimed that everything belonged to his girlfriend.”

Court documents provide a transcript of part of Brinson’s conversation with investigators.

Brinson allegedly asked, “How do I get out of here?”

The investigator said: “One way or another, but you are a danger to society.”

To which Brinson allegedly replied: “No. I have legal weapons.

“He just confirmed our point because fentanyl does not discriminate on the basis of race or gender and, unfortunately, takes the lives of any of them,” Chavez said. “We don’t see color, race, or ethnicity when we do our investigations.”

Chavez said that Brinstone could be connected to Luis Navarette and Magali Cano, who were arrested a few weeks ago. He said selling drugs can be tricky, but said the two “might” have bought pills from Brinson at some point in the past.
