According to law enforcement and open source reporting, multiple fatal overdoses across the United States have been linked to fentanyl. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 80-100 times stronger than morphine. Pharmaceutical fentanyl was developed for pain management treatment of cancer patients, applied in a patch on the skin. Since fentanyl is so potent, it is highly sought by drug addicts for the purpose of abuse. Fentanyl is added to heroin to increase its potency, or be disguised as highly potent heroin. Many users believe that they are purchasing heroin and actually don’t know that they are purchasing fentanyl – which often results in overdose deaths. Fentanyl is readily available online and is reportedly manufactured in China. Fentanyl is shipped to the United States and ordered via the dark web by drug abusers and drug traffickers. Fentanyl is also shipped to Mexico and smuggled into the United States. Fentanyl can be sold in the pure powder form, mixed with other controlled substances such as legal prescription medications and/or pressed into a tablet form.

The Marshall County Sheriff’s Office, McCracken County Sheriff’s Department and Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife feels it is extremely important to warn the public that fentanyl and other synthetic drugs are very dangerous. Fentanyl is being manufactured in China and is not regulated. The same amount of fentanyl may have different potencies, depending on manufacturing location, etc… There have been numerous reported incidents of serious injury merely from the inhalation of or physical contact with fentanyl.

The present outcome of the investigation was only possible by the cooperation of the three departments. This investigation has spanned several communities and is continuing. If you have any information related to this investigation and/or any information related to the trafficking of illegal drugs, please contact the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office at (270) 527-3112.
