Three people recently arrested for carrying drugs in western Colorado had among their stash an opioid said to be 10,000 times more potent than morphine and 100 times more potent than fentanyl.
A Delta County Sheriff’s Office deputy pulled over a vehicle on March 3 that was swerving over the lane stripes on Highway 50 west of Delta.
Another Delta deputy invited his K9 “Teg” to sniff the vehicle. The dog alerted to the presence of narcotics.
The deputies removed the three people from the car and searched it, finding approximately 1500 fentanyl pills, 50 grams of fentanyl powder, 12 grams of ecstacy pills, 454 grams of methamphetamine, and 21 grams of Carfentanil.
