Detectives said during an interview that Miranda admitted to selling blue "M-30" fentanyl pills and also using fentanyl for approximately one year.

One previous warrant for Miranda was in connection to an April 9, 2016 arrest for possession of marijuana with intent to sell, driving without a license, and speeding 21 to 30 miles more than the speed limit, according to police.

An LVMPD officer said he stopped Miranda after he noticed him driving approximately 90 miles per hour on southbound US-95. According to police records, the officer could smell marijuana when Miranda rolled down the driver's window before nearly 332 grams of marijuana was discovered inside the car. Miranda had a passport from Ecuador and said he had no driver's license or other form of identification, according to police documents, and he was released from jail the next day.

Miranda spent one day in LVMPD custody in Oct. 2019 in connection with the case, according to records.
