A 31-year-old man has been sentenced to 12 years in federal prison for arranging a fentanyl sale that resulted in the overdose death of a 25-year-old Carlsbad woman. Cameron William Fulston pleaded guilty to coordinating the drug deal that prompted the victim, Danielle Good, to travel to San Diego, where she later died after overdosing in a Mission Valley apartment.

Why it matters

Fentanyl-related overdoses have become an increasingly deadly public health crisis across the United States, with the powerful synthetic opioid contributing to record numbers of overdose deaths in recent years. This case highlights the legal consequences that can befall those involved in the distribution of fentanyl, even if they did not directly provide the drugs that caused a fatal overdose.

The details

On the night of September 10, 2023, emergency responders found Good unconscious in a bathroom of a Mission Valley apartment. She was hospitalized but remained comatose and was taken off life support five days later. Prosecutors say Fulston had initiated a conversation with Good over social media about drugs, prompting her to travel to San Diego. Fulston's co-defendant, Bryan Kim Bullard, was with Good in the apartment when she overdosed, and at one point messaged Fulston that he needed Narcan. However, neither contacted emergency services until about an hour later, when Bullard called 911 from the victim's phone before fleeing.
