FEDS DISMANTLE BALTIMORE-BASED FENTANYL TRAFFICKING OPERATION

The feds have dismantled two Baltimore-based drug organizations that trafficked large amounts of fentanyl to West Virginia.  The drugs led to a spike in overdoses causing at least two deaths.  According to unsealed indictments, 34 people from Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia have been charged with the sale of fentanyl, heroin and other drugs. Much of the fentanyl had high levels of purity and a purple tint to distinguish it from competitors drugs. Thirty-year-old Kentrel Rollins of Baltimore is also accused of trafficking firearms and trading guns for drugs.
