An Oxnard man accused of peddling deadly drugs is in custody after he was arrested by deputies with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, according to authorities.

The Sheriff’s Office said 44-year-old Germain Shrauger was arrested in the area of Oxnard Community Park West last Friday.

Authorities said he was seen selling drugs from his car in the area of 7th St Street and Hobson Way in Oxnard during the investigation. After obtaining a search warrant, detectives seized about 1 pound of fentanyl and more than another pound of methamphetamine.

As little as 2 milligrams of fentanyl, a highly addictive substance, could be a lethal dose, the sheriff’s office said.
