A routine traffic stop in California’s central valley turned into a major fentanyl bust when authorities seized enough lethal doses to kill a quarter of California’s population, according to California highway patrol (CHP).
In a statement released on Friday, CHP officers in Stockton, about 50 miles south of the capitol city of Sacramento, said that last month, while conducting a traffic stop on Interstate 5 highway near Airport Boulevard, officers uncovered “an alarming amount of fentanyl-laced pills” after a K9 signaled the scent of narcotics.
Officers discovered two duffel bags and a shopping bag filled with counterfeit oxycodone, or M30, pills. In total, more than 66lbs of 330,000 pills were confiscated. The driver, who was registered to Washington, was arrested and booked into Yolo county jail.
