Authorities have seized 20 kilograms of suspected fentanyl in a huge drug bust in Dayton, Ohio — enough of the synthetic opioid 'to kill the entire population of Ohio, many times over,' an official says
That is enough of the synthetic opioid"to kill the entire population of Ohio, many times over," said Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge Vance Callender."The quantity of fentanyl in this case amounts to chemical warfare and a weapon of mass destruction," Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said in a statement.
Anyone associated with it -- especially those who sell and traffic it -- are doing violence to people and causing harm in our communities," Montgomery County Sheriff Rob Streck said in a statement. Montgomery County Coroner Dr. Kent Harshbarger said that fentanyl and methamphetamine are responsible for the"vast majority of overdose deaths" in the area, and believes that getting these drugs off the streets"will save lives.
