A woman was arrested Thursday in New York City in connection to the suspected fentanyl overdose death of Robert De Niro's grandson, Leandro De Niro Rodriguez, Fox News Digital has learned.
Sophia Haley Marks, 20, allegedly sold Rodriguez drugs before he was found dead July 2 in his Manhattan apartment, according to a law enforcement source.
She was arrested Thursday evening in a joint operation by the NYPD, Homeland Security and the Drug Enforcement Administration, the source said.
Marks is expected to appear Friday in Manhattan federal Court on charges of narcotics distribution. The arrest was first confirmed by the New York Post, which reported that Marks is known as the "Percocet Princess."
