An obscure Los Angeles actor is expected to be arraigned Monday for allegedly delivering fentanyl-laced pills to a Beverly Hills man who later died of an overdose.

Mucktarr Kather Sei, 36, of Koreatown, was arrested Saturday on federal charges alleging he worked with a Hollywood woman who ran a drug- delivery operation that sold counterfeit oxycodone pills and other drugs, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The woman, Mirela “Mimi” Todorova, 33, is currently in federal custody after being charged last year with possession with intent to distribute cocaine and ecstasy. Todorova holds United States, Bulgarian and Canadian citizenship, federal prosecutors said.

Todorova and Sei are charged with one count each of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute controlled substances resulting in death, and distribution of fentanyl resulting in death. The four- count updated indictment filed last week in Los Angeles federal court also charges Todorova with the two previously alleged drug counts stemming from the seizure of cocaine and MDMA at her home in March 2021.

According to the indictment, Todorova gave narcotics — including counterfeit oxycodone pills that contained fentanyl — to Sei and other drivers to bring to customers across Los Angeles County and elsewhere. Todorova also delivered drugs herself and gave Sei keys to her Hollywood apartment so he could access the stash when Todorova went to Mexico, federal prosecutors allege.

The indictment quotes Todorova referring to a jaguar named Princess that the woman apparently kept as a pet in Mexico.

On Nov. 15 and 16, 2020, after a 37-year-old man placed orders for oxycodone pills to Todorova’s phone number, Sei allegedly delivered pills laced with fentanyl that caused the man’s fatal overdose in his Beverly Hills home, according to federal prosecutors.

Before and after the fatal overdose, other drug customers raised concerns about the authenticity and safety of the oxycodone pills that Todorova and Sei allegedly distributed. Several weeks before the death of the Beverly Hills man, another customer texted Todorova, telling her he had just gotten out of the hospital because “the oxys are dirty,” according to the indictment.

The charges of conspiracy to distribute drugs and drug distribution resulting in death carry a mandatory minimum of 20 years in federal prison and a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, prosecutors noted.

Sei, who uses Kather Sei as his stage name, once appeared in an episode of the TV series “S.W.A.T,” according to IMDB.com.

Former American Idol contestant Caleb Kennedy has been charged in a fatal DUI that has left a man dead in South Carolina. According to police reports Caleb Kennedy was driving a 2011 Ford pickup when he struck a building killing a man inside. Caleb Kennedy would be arrested and when his alcohol level was tested he was well over the legal limit. The former American Idol contestant was charged with felony driving under the influence resulting in death and remains in a county jail

Caleb Kennedy More News

Former “American Idol” contestant Caleb Kennedy has been charged with a felony DUI after a fatal crash in his home state of South Carolina.

South Carolina Highway Patrol master trooper Mitchell Ridgeway confirmed to USA TODAY on Tuesday that the country singer, 17, has been “charged with felony driving under the influence resulting in death,” after driving a 2011 Ford Pickup into a building.

A person inside the building sustained a fatal injury as a result of the collision, Ridgeway said.

The crash, which occurred Tuesday at approximately 12:41 p.m. on a private road in Spartanburg County, remains under investigation by the South Carolina Highway Patrol.

According to Ridgeway, the driver of the vehicle was taken to Spartanburg Medical Center. The second person that was in the building was also taken to the hospital, then died from their injuries. 

Caleb Kennedy began his “Idol” journey in October 2020 and eventually made it to the Top 5 before abruptly leaving the show after a controversial social media post resurfaced online. In a Snapchat post, Kennedy appeared beside someone wearing what seems to be a Ku Klux Klan hood. 

“Now that I’m home, I try to be me, but I’m also scared of someone videoing me when I go to Academy or Walmart. You have to worry about things like that now,” Kennedy told the Spartanburg Herald-Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network, in June 2021.

While speaking about his time on the show, Kennedy admitted he underestimated the pressures of performing on a popular show like “Idol.” 

“You think it’s all going to be fun, and a lot of it is, but it will slap you in the face really quickly. I wasn’t ready for it,” he said. “There’s no way to emotionally prepare for ‘Idol.’ Because no one is ready for it, no matter how you prepare.”

However, he noted that he didn’t have regrets despite the challenges, adding “I did love it.”

Last May, viewers were surprised when Kennedy failed to appear on the show to perform alongside the season’s Top 5 contestants. Host Ryan Seacrest barely touched on Kennedy’s absence on air, saying at the top of the show that the high school student “will not be continuing in the competition.”

However, in a virtual Q&A after the show, judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan gave their thoughts on the controversy. “First and foremost, as judges and as a judges panel, we love these kids, and we get emotionally involved,” Bryan said. “We wish nothing but the best for Caleb, and it does make for a very, very challenging and upsetting week.”

Richie added that he hoped the controversy would be a learning experience for the teenager. “We grow up, and we make mistakes, and we look at our lives behind us many, many times, and we say, ‘God, what was I thinking about when I did that?’ This is one of those situations,” he said.

Kennedy took to Instagram to apologize and officially announce his departure on May 12.

“Hey y’all, this is gonna be a bit of a surprise, but I am no longer gonna be on ‘American Idol,’ ” he wrote. “There was a video that surfaced on the internet and it displayed actions that were not meant to be taken in that way. I was younger and did not think about the actions, but that’s not an excuse. I wanna say sorry to all my fans and everyone who I have let down.”

Kennedy’s family told the Herald-Journal at the time that the video was recorded when he was 12, and his mother, Anita Guy, said the video “was taken after Caleb had watched the movie ‘The Strangers: Prey at Night’ and they were imitating those characters.”

“Caleb doesn’t have a racist bone in his body,” she added.
