Fentanyl trafficker convicted, sentenced following Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office investigation

Date
CCITF Fentanyl investigation Evidence

 

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. 

CCITF is comprised of members from the Canby Police Department, Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police, and the Federal Bureau of Investigations. CCITF is supported by our community with the passage of the Public Safety Levy and grant funding from the Oregon-Idaho High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) program.
