Kansas Police: 750,000 Fentanyl Pills Seized in One County in 2024 but Crisis Persists
|
 [Breitbart] Kansas's fentanyl crisis is a ''very dangerous situation,'' according to law enforcement officials, as the synthetic opioid has caused approximately 80 percent of drug overdose deaths in one of the state's most populous areas.
Authorities from Sedgwick County, which has a population of more than 520,000 people, revealed that police seized a whopping 750,000 fentanyl pills so far in 2024, KWCH12 reported Thursday.
Even with the massive police efforts to crack down on drug trafficking, the problem is far from over.
''This stuff is extremely strong. We're not seeing where one dose of Narcan is bringing people back. It's multiple doses that we're having to administer, and the most we've administered to somebody is five,'' Sedgwick County Sheriff Jeff Easter told the local outlet.
''It's very dangerous. If it's not cut with something before it comes here, if it's straight fentanyl powder, that type of pow[d]er can soak through your system; you can breathe it,'' he explained.
Easter hopes that additions to police staff and opioid settlement money will lead to a substantial change in the area.
