Colorado Springs man pleads guilty to distribution of deadly fentanyl dose to 16-year-old boy

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Wednesday, a Colorado Springs pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and para-fluorofentanyl that resulted in the death of a teenage boy.

According to the plea agreement, 52-year-old Douglas Floyd conspired with two co-defendants to violate federal drug laws. Investigators say between December 2021 and January 2022, Floyd, Marlene McGuire, and Maria Davis-Conchie agreed to distribute blue pills to a juvenile and his friends.

In March, KRDO learned that Davis-Conchie was the 16-year-old's biological mother. She's accused of giving him the lethal dose of fentanyl that killed him.

An FBI agent investigating the case said that Floyd and McGuire hung around Davis-Conchie and that she connected her son and two other minors to them.

According to police, the two other boys admitted to buying drugs from Davis-Conchie on January 30, the night before her son's death.

During that interview, the teens told police they were first sold Xanax by Davis-Conchie and a man she was frequently with, multiple times over a year, starting in late 2020.

According to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado, Floyd will be sentenced on October 17, 2022.

The case against the two co-defendants, McGuire and Davis-Conchie, remains ongoing in federal district court in Denver.
