PICKERINGTON DRUG BUST

A CENTRAL OHIO DRUG BUST HIGHLIGHTS A GROWING FENTANYL THREAT IN THE BUCKEYE STATE.
IN PICKERINGTON, OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL DAVE YOST IS WARNING PEOPLE ABOUT PILLS THAT LOOK LIKE SOMETHING YOU'D GET AT A PHARMACY. BUT THESE COULD KILL YOU. THESE NORMAL LOOKING PILLS ARE ACTUALLY CARFENTANYL, WHICH IS 100 TIMES STRONGER THAN FENTANYL. PICKERINGTON POLICE CONFISCATED ALMOST 4000 OF THESE DURING A RECENT DRUG BUST. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE SAYS CARFENTANIL USE IN OHIO PEAKED IN 2017, BUT THIS YEAR THERE SEEMS TO BE AN UPTICK IN DRUG SAMPLES TESTED BY BCCI FROM 16 DIFFERENT COUNTIES.
