Subsequently, two days after the purchase, Mac Miller was found unresponsive in his Studio City home. Later, his death was ruled an accidental overdose of alcohol, cocaine and fentanyl.
The 42-page criminal complaint has prosecutors alleging that Pettit messaged his friends on Instagram shortly after Miller’s death. He reportedly told friends he probably shouldn’t post a reaction in regards to his death “just to be smart.”
For instance, when someone asked how he was doing, he allegedly wrote:
“I am not great … Most likely I will die in jail.”
Pettit currently faces one count of distribution of a controlled substance.
If convicted of the charge, he would face a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.
