Sheila Lyons, a Chicago native and Bradley University graduate, is making history as the first woman to lead the Chicago DEA field office.
The highest-ranking federal drug officer in town is making history as the first woman to hold the title. She's vowing to make a difference as fentanyl deaths spiral out of control and drug cartels continue brisk business in the Chicago area.
A Chicago native and Bradley University graduate, Lyons planned to become a lawyer, but law school was too expensive. A college career day led her to apply to government agencies the DEA called and Lyons found her calling. "They are the two cartels that are driving the fentanyl overdose deaths poisoning in the U.S. today and both of those cartels are alive and well and present and active in the city of Chicago," Lyons said.
