FOREST PARK, GA — A man accused of selling fentanyl-laced counterfeit pills from a produce stand at a Forest Park farmers market is now facing federal drug charges.
Federal prosecutors say 41-year-old Luis Sanchez-Acevedo was arrested this week after drug agents found pills at his produce stand, where authorities say he was selling fruits and vegetables along with the drugs.
Prosecutors allege Sanchez-Acevedo sold about 3,000 counterfeit “M-30” pills containing fentanyl and xylazine in late 2025. Agents say they recovered roughly 1,000 additional pills from the stand at the time of his arrest.
Sanchez-Acevedo is charged with possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, he is in the United States illegally.
Authorities say Sanchez-Acevedo appeared before a U.S. magistrate judge on the federal drug charge. The case is being investigated by the DEA with assistance from Clayton County police.
