Sebastian Gabriel Lugo-Lugo, Fentanyl Distribution, Florida 2024

Orlando Man Pleads Guilty To Fentanyl And Firearm Offenses

Sebastian Gabriel Lugo-Lugo, 20, of Orlando, has pleaded guilty to distribution of fentanyl and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

According to the plea agreement, Lugo-Lugo sold counterfeit oxycodone pills containing fentanyl to an undercover agent multiple times between November 2023 and February 2024. During some of those transactions, the undercover agent observed a handgun next to Lugo-Lugo inside his vehicle.

Additionally, on February 14, 2024, Lugo-Lugo sold the undercover agent a Ruger 9 mm handgun along with 50 fentanyl pills.

Lugo-Lugo faces a minimum mandatory penalty of 5 years, up to life, in federal prison. A sentencing date has not yet been set.

This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office City-County Investigative Bureau, with assistance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Assistant United States Attorney Megan Testerman is prosecuting the case.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.

Lugo-Lugo’s plea is a significant blow to the flow of fentanyl in our community and a testament to the hard work of law enforcement agencies working together to keep our streets safe.
