A Trussville veterinarian is behind bars in Shelby County after lawmen say he bought nearly 36,000 fatal doses of fentanyl with Bitcoin on the dark web
David Ray Wallace, 46, of Alabaster, and Dana Marie Leslie, of Pelham, were taken into custody Monday. The Shelby County Drug Enforcement Task Force assisted narcotics investigators and SWAT with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, as well as U.S. Postal Inspector investigators.
Task Force Commander Lt. Clay Hammac said the Alabama portion of the probe began when law enforcement officers in the state of New York contacted ALEA to let them know a package of fentanyl intended for delivery in Shelby County had been intercepted at JFK Airport. ALEA, postal inspectors, and Shelby County task force investigators identified the intended recipients of the package and launched a search for addresses associated with them.
During the investigation, Hammac said, they learned Wallace, who is a practicing veterinarian in Trussville, had bought the fentanyl from the dark web using Bitcoin.
The drug were shipped to the U.S. in a stuffed teddy bear. Both Wallace and Leslie were then arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit a controlled substance crime.
