Over 100 arrested in massive Florida drug bust after months-long investigation.
Police in Florida issued arrest warrants for over 100 members of a suspected drug gang on Wednesday and seized enough fentanyl to wipe out a large county. Dozens of them were taken into custody and bused to prison, including the six alleged ringleaders.
The amount of opiates seized were"enough to kill every single resident of Brevard County," which has an estimated population of about 590,000 people, according to police.“We cannot allow these drugs and the criminals who peddle them to poison our communities and destroy lives," DeSantis said in a statement Wednesday."We must have strict enforcement for these dealers and treatment for those who have become addicted.
Fentanyl, often used to lace other drugs, is considered the deadliest drug in America, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Ingesting as little as 0.25 milligrams can be fatal. "Arrest warrants were issued for each of the 100 suspects who have been identified throughout the course of the investigation as sources or distributors of these deadly drugs," the sheriff's office said in a statement."Several of the suspects arrested today were arrested previously in this investigation for drug related charges and were released after posting lowered bonds.
