Tucson police are working around the clock to connect those who have overdosed on fentanyl with their suppliers, in order to try the dealers on manslaughter charges.
TUCSON, Ariz. — The Counter Narcotics Alliance drug task force says the City of Tucson saw more than 400 fentanyl overdoses in 2022, and about half those were fatal.
"We are aggressively working to link fentanyl dealers to a victim's death and if that's your business in this city, you can rest assured we have a team of investigators that are going to work tirelessly around-the-clock to identify those dealers whose product resulted in somebody's death," said Tucson Police Lieutenant Justin Lane, who works as the Counter Narcotics Alliance Deputy Commander.
The alliance is a multi-jurisdictional task force that serves not only Tucson, but greater Pima County. When looking at the county as a whole, the number of fentanyl-related cases jumps to more than 1,000, with 316 deaths last year attributed to the drug.
