  2. A LI gang member was arrested for selling counterfeit pills. Fernando "Pablo" Cooper planned to sell pills made to look like Percocet, as well as 30-milligram oxycodone pills, between December 2021 and July 2022, federal prosecutors say. Cooper sold numerous fake pills to a person in Bohemia in July and days later a raid on his home brought police to more drugs. Cooper was a member of the Hit Squad street gang.
