Detectives identified Cynthia Fields as the woman who sold fentanyl pills to George Sparks in February.
According to a complaint warrant, officials found Sparks' cell phone and material on the phone indicated a drug transaction was made between Fields and Sparks on February 21, 2022, in Lexington. Detectives also found an "extensive" amount of evidence on Fields' phone that she was trafficking drugs, according to the complaint warrant.

Fields' bond is set at $100,000 cash only.
