A Troy man who has appeared on the Netflix series "Dope" was arrested for drug trafficking throughout Oakland County and surrounding communities on Tuesday, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.

In a news release shared Friday, the sheriff's office said detectives assigned to the Oakland County Narcotic Enforcement Team arrested Ryan James Zettell, 21, of Troy, who reportedly goes by the street name "Ozone."

The anti-narcotics team began investigating Zettell in July 2018, when they received a tip identifying him as a Troy-area drug trafficker, the release said.

The tip also mentioned that he was featured in Episode 3, Season 2 of the Netflix series "Dope," which, according to its Netflix description, is a show looking at the war on drugs that is "filmed from the perspectives of dealers, users and the police."

"During the episode, he mentions that he hoped to go into criminal justice at some point," the release added.

As part of their investigation, detectives conducted undercover buys and surveillance of Zettell, and arranged several purchases of cocaine and MDMA, or "Molly."

A release said the team then secured search warrants for two locations where they observed Zettell conducting illegal activities, and during his arrest, detectives also recovered a backpack the following inside:

Digital scales

62 acid tabs

29 grams of Molly

A gram of cocaine

A laptop

Additionally, a Kimber .45 semiautomatic weapon, a gram of cocaine and $7,195 in U.S. currency was recovered from one of the search warrant locations.

During Zettell's arrest, a release said that when he was interviewed by detectives he admitted to being on the Netflix series.

Zettell is being held at the Oakland County Jail, and was arraigned at 10 a.m. Friday on a six-count felony warrant before Judge Maureen McGinnis in the 52-4 District Court, a release said.

Zettell faces multiple drug trafficking charges: three counts of delivery/manufacture of less than 50 grams of a controlled substance (cocaine, heroin, or another narcotic), two counts of delivery/manufacture of a controlled substance (ecstasy/MDMA), and one count of delivery/manufacture of less than 25 grams of a controlled substance (cocaine, heroin, or another narcotic).

Zettell was given a $15,000 cash surety bond, 10 percent, and is due back in court at 8:45 a.m. on Feb. 14.
