OKLAHOMA CITY – Beth Nichole Christanna Morris, 34, of Moore, has been sentenced to serve 110 months in federal prison for distribution of fentanyl leading to an overdose death, announced U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.
On October 28, 2019, Norman Police Department responded to a fatal fentanyl overdose at an apartment complex in Norman. Morris was identified as having sold three counterfeit “M-30” pills to the victim the day prior. These pills contained fentanyl and ultimately led to the victim’s death.
Morris was charged with distribution of fentanyl on March 18, 2024, and pleaded guilty on March 27, 2024. She admitted that her actions caused the death of the victim during her plea.
During the sentencing hearing on July 29, 2025, U.S. District Judge Joe Heaton sentenced Morris to 110 months in federal prison, followed by four years of supervised release. She was also ordered to pay $18,690.51 in restitution for funeral expenses. Judge Heaton emphasized the severity of her crime and the need for deterrence.
This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and highlights the importance of their “One Pill Can Kill” campaign. For more information on this campaign, visit here. Additional information about the dangers of fentanyl distribution and use can be found here.
