118 pounds of fentanyl — enough to kill more than 26 million people — among drug bust records
The year isn’t even half over, but so far in 2018 the Nebraska State Patrol has seized more illegal drugs than in recent years.
Drug bust totals so far this year have totaled about 4,500 pounds of marijuana, 70 pounds of hash, 90 pounds of methamphetamine and 118 pounds of fentanyl.
Nebraska State Patrol Col. John Bolduc said Thursday that there has been an emphasis on educating troopers about the drug trade and the nexus of drug trafficking and other crimes.
