Description: Mac Miller dealers Text Messages and a 42 page Court Document Court Documents justice.gov/usao-cdca/press-release/file/1199456/download On September 4, days shy of the one-year anniversary of Mac Miller’s death, the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Central District of California charged 28-year-old Cameron Pettit with selling the drugs that killed the rapper. Pettit, who was denied bail by U.S. Magistrate Judge Maria Audero per the feds’ request, faces up to 20 years in prison. Despite the eerie timing, the case “was not timed to coincide with the anniversary of [Mac’s] death,” spokesperson U.S. Attorney’s Office spokesperson Thomas Mrozek told Complex. The government released a 42-page criminal complaint against Pettit that goes into the details surrounding the night Mac bought the drugs that killed him. Here’s a breakdown of what those documents reveal, and a summary of the case against Cameron Pettit. Who is Cameron Pettit? Cameron James Pettit is a 28-year-old executive chef at the Sayers Club in Hollywood, according to his Facebook page. He is also, the government says, a drug dealer, and one of his clients was Mac Miller. What is Cameron Pettit being charged with? Pettit is charged with Distribution of a Controlled Substance, a count which carries a 20-year maximum prison sentence. Specifically, the government says that on September 5, 2018, Pettit sold Mac oxycodone pills that, instead of being genuine Oxy, were instead laced with fentanyl. POST CONTINUES BELOW Pettit is not directly charged with killing Mac; the government points out that the rapper “died of mixed drug toxicity involving fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol.” But the DOJ’s press release goes out of its way to point out that Mac “died after snorting the counterfeit oxycodone pills containing fentanyl and...those pills had been provided by Pettit.” When asked if they planned on charging Pettit with additional crimes, Mrozek had no comment. Why does the government think he did it? The criminal complaint lays out a lot of evidence to back up the contention that Pettit sold Mac the fentanyl-laced Oxy: texts between Pettit and Mac, the drugs themselves, panicked Instagram DMs between Pettit and a friend after Mac’s death became public, and more. Was anyone else charged? No one else was charged, but two women are mentioned in the complaint, Mia Johansson and Karla Amador. According to the complaint, Johansson served a dual role. She acted as a backup drug dealer when Pettit was tied up, and sometimes took payments from Mac on behalf of Pettit. She also set Mac up with sex workers, including one, Karla Amador, who was with Mac the night he bought the drugs that would kill him. Amador, the government says, also goes by “Carolina Cortez,” and under that name has starred in adult films. When asked by Complex if any additional people, including Johansson and Amador, would be charged in the case, Mrozek again had no comment. You can see Johnansson and Pettit in the Instagram photo below, which is dated April 4, 2017. Johansson is the woman with brown hair. What happened on September 5? Much of the criminal complaint is devoted to reconstructing the events of the night of September 4, into the early morning of September 5, 2018. Here is the outline of what the government contends went down: Between a little after 11 p.m. and just before midnight, Mac and Pettit engage in a long text conversation. Over text, Mac orders ten Oxy pills, ten Xanax pills, and cocaine, before telling Pettit to deliver everything to the rapper’s house. By 1 a.m., Pettit hasn’t shown up, so Mac sends him a series of texts asking where he is. There is no response. At 1:12 a.m., Mac starts texting Johansson about how “Cam is supposed to be pullin up and he ain’t answering.” Johansson offers instead to send some drugs “with a girl.” Mac orders five Oxy pills, five Xanax, ten Adderall, five Norco pills, and two grams of coke. He asks which girls are “available,” and Johansson says that “Carla,” who the government contends is Karla Amador, is. Just after 2 a.m., Pettit finally gets back to Mac, apologizing for getting “sidetracked.” He arrives and delivers the drugs to Mac a little before 2:30 a.m.. It’s a little unclear when Amador arrived that morning, but by 2:30 a.m., Mac is texting Johansson and buying an extra hour with “Carla.” Later on the 5th, Johnansson sends Mac a series of text messages about the money he owes her for the night’s festivities: $325 for the drugs and $3,000 for five hours of Amador’s time (Mac admits that “I just wanted an extra hour but I never told her to leave… All the sudden in was 7 am [sic]. I was just working and she was kickin it.”) #rap #CPA #news
