Nearly 400,000 fentanyl pills have been seized in Utah as part of a nationwide operation aimed at disrupting the flow of the drug into the United States. This was following a new Utah law that went into effect earlier this year, making fentanyl trafficking a first-degree felony.
“It’s letting the public know that 30% of all those pills that we seized are fatal. You’re playing Russian roulette with those pills. If you take a pill, you could die. There’s a 30% chance you’re going to die,” said Miguel Chino, assistant special agent in charge at the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s Rocky Mountain Field Division.
