**TNT Agents Arrest Man for Drug Sales of Counterfeit “M30” Fentanyl Pills After Investigation Instigated by Overdose**
February 4, 2025 – Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office officials report that on the morning of Thursday, January 30th, TNT Agents began investigating a drug overdose involving an 18-year-old in Columbia. The overdose occurred during the early 
hours of the same day. When deputies arrived, they administered Narcan and performed CPR until medics could transport the subject to AHS for treatment.
During the investigation, deputies seized over 1,500 counterfeit, blue 30mg Oxycontin “M30” pills, along with additional evidence related to drug sales. TNT Agents’ investigation determined that these pills are believed to contain Fentanyl. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) testing in 2024 showed that 50% of similar pills contained a potentially deadly dose of fentanyl.
Further investigation uncovered evidence that led TNT Agents to 20-year-old Corey David Craddock, who was found to be distributing counterfeit pills in Tuolumne County. TNT Agents located and arrested Craddock in the Sonora area on the afternoon of January 30th, 2025. During Craddock’s arrest, additional evidence related to the sales of marijuana and electronic cigarettes was located. Craddock was later booked at the Dambacher Detention Center (DDC) on multiple charges related to drug sales.
The fentanyl pills seized weighed approximately 276 grams, qualifying for a 5-year sentencing enhancement (an increase in the severity of his potential penalty), under Prop 36, a law approved by California voters in 2024 to increase penalties for drug offenses.
This case remains under investigation. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact TNT at (209) 533-5884.
Parents, please talk to your children about the dangers of counterfeit pills. These fake pills can look like real prescriptions but may contain deadly fentanyl. To help raise awareness, we will be distributing educational materials to schools in Tuolumne County.
Attached photos show images of the counterfeit blue “M30” fentanyl pills, which mimic prescription Oxycontin. These fake pills often contain lethal amounts of fentanyl or methamphetamine and can be indistinguishable from legitimate medications. Help spread awareness to protect our community.
