“Fentanyl is killing far too many Americans, and we are determined to arrest those who bring fentanyl into our community,” said Zachary O’Lare, deputy chief of PGPD’s Bureau of Investigations. “This is the opportunity to educate our children, our teens, our preteens, on what fentanyl is and the danger that it brings.”
