Federal, state and municipal partnership targets fentanyl traffickers

SEP 13 (ANCHORAGE)

On September 12, 2017, a federal grand jury in Anchorage returned a series of indictments charging individuals with fentanyl trafficking and other criminal offenses. Fentanyl, sometimes known on the street as “Grey Death,” is a powerful opioid that is up to 50 times more powerful than heroin. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has issued nationwide alerts on fentanyl as a threat to health and public safety, as well as to law enforcement officers, who were warned by DEA two months ago to take extreme precautions when handling fentanyl, because exposure to an amount equivalent to a few grains of sand can result in death.
