Newberry woman on probation arrested for selling drugs that allegedly killed man
Staff report
NEWBERRY, Fla. – Amanda Ruth Copley, 46, of Newberry, was arrested yesterday and charged with two counts of selling opium derivatives within 1000 feet of a school, maintaining a drug dwelling, using a two-way communications device to facilitate a felony, fraud, and money laundering after allegedly selling pills to a man who died of a fentanyl overdose a short time later.
On March 31, Copley allegedly sold counterfeit Oxycodone Hydrochloride pills to a man who overdosed and died after consuming the pills. The man reportedly bought 10 pills for $350 and later contacted Copley with concerns about the legitimacy of the pills because they were green and “busted up,” and Copley allegedly reassured him that they were genuine. The man replied, “I trust you, I’m just checking” and thanked her. He was found dead hours later at his home. Green pills and a green powdery substance were reportedly found at the scene; the powder reportedly tested positive for fentanyl.
Post Miranda, Copley reportedly admitted selling pills to the man.
Copley has two felony convictions (none violent) and one misdemeanor conviction (none violent). She is on probation for fraud and grand theft. Judge Walter Green set bail at $275,000.

We should kill this woman. Donald Trump is in favor of executing drug dealers and so am I. This woman will likely get 5-10 years, but she deserves to be on Death Row just like any other inmate who has callously taken a life, whether it be thru a handgun a knife or a drug.
All this courtesy of Xiden and his ilk letting fetanyl pour across the border in combination with various other narcotics and diseases. Even into the White House.
Yes this fentanyl is a chemical weapon that China is using against us. Over 90 percent of illicit fentanyl that is found in the US originated in China. We went to two wars- one against Iraq and another Afghanistan- over 3,000 lives lost on 9/11. Yet we are now having over 100,000 people killed by China’s fentanyl every year and we just sit back and keep doing business with this country, business as usual.
The chemicals used to make it come from China, but most of it is made in cartel drug labs in Mexico.
Dementia Joe’s Open Border Policy and the CCP’s plan to destroy America from within are to blame.
You have to thank Ole pedi Pete….
Another worthless thug off the streets
Drug didn’t kill him, stupidity did.
Drug just expedited the result.
with hateful people like you out here, why wouldn’t he want to die?
Yes. The drug comes from China. Actually, most drugs are transported across the border by legal US Citizens. No they won’t stop trades because the rich are greedy and don’t want to pay actual labor costs. This is everybody fault! Trump Biden all they old asses can sit down.
Granted the man made a poor choice in taking the drugs even when he questioned his gut instincts. But she knowingly told the man everything was good and even after the man told her that he trusted her she said nothing. She admitted to selling him the pills. She knew they were counterfeit. I would at least entertain a murder or manslaughter charge on her if I were the State Attorney. But then again this is Gainesville.
