Woman charged with selling fentanyl-laced pills to Robert De Niro's grandson

A woman has been arrested on federal narcotics charges for allegedly selling pills laced with fentanyl that led to the death of actor Robert De Niro's 19-year-old grandson, authorities said Friday.

Sofia Haley Marks, 20, was arrested Thursday by New York City police officers and federal drug agents on charges of selling drugs to Leandro De Niro Rodriguez, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the arrest.

Marks faces three counts of distribution of narcotics, according to a federal complaint filed Friday that did not identify Rodriguez as the victim in the case.
