As fentanyl cases continue rising, state officials are working on ways to prevent the dangerous drug from coming into Alabama.
For the past year or so, officials across the country have warned communities about the dangers of fentanyl.
“In my 35 years, we’ve never seen, you know, the effects of a drug that fentanyl causes to people especially, you know, overdoses,” said Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch. Sheriff Burch says fentanyl cases have slowed down within the past few months. Since he took office in January, his deputies have made several fentanyl-related arrests. He believes the drug is being bought into the area by way of Interstate 10.
“It’s produced in China, goes to Mexico and then comes across the border. Unfortunately, you know, they basically walk it across and then, you know, I-10 is a major corridor coming from the border and then that’s where we’ve encountered some in the past as well,” Sheriff Burch explains.
