January 19, 2024

OMAHA, Neb.–Fentanyl use and arrests are on the rise in our region…to the tune of an 83-percent increase in seizures.

That’s enough fentanyl to kill almost three million people.

Omaha Regional Drug Enforcement Agency Public Information Officer Emily Murray says it’s impossible to tell the difference between one pill and the next…

Murray says seven out of ten pills seized are laced with Fentanyl.

It only takes an amount that fits on the tip of a pencil to be deadly.
